So who's the new old guy?
#26
I'm very fascinated to see all you here to remember the all good days of punch cards..

now I can do some questions, for the time when I wasn't yet born, but  a time very interesting:

1. but had also first BASIC used punch cards?

2. what did you use to make the punch cards? Pencils? Spike? or a mechanical type machine for making  holes?

3. what was the name of editor for those punch cards?

4. how  big had  to be a punch card of a single application?

5. how did you debug those punch cards?
...
what had  brought  you from a professional language like COBOL or FORTRAN to a toy language for only beginners (Beginners' All purpose  Simbolic Instruction Code)?
And what do let you continue to use BASIC at the place of a professional language of programming?

Hoping to get info of a fascinated past...
thanks for time spent for answering
