Mate, I was old school before old school was cool... Just ask my Frankie Valli music collection.
Is old school coming back?

I'm not old school enough - I didn't get the binary or hex ones, if they were even meant to mean anything

I've used A punchcard - but then I started with computers when I was 4 - even then that was a 'this is how we used to program computers son'

I do remember though getting my first 8" floppy disk drive to replace the cassette player I was using on my microbee until then.

I do believe I have been issued with a paper clip and given instruction on how to unfold said paper clip to convert paper clip into a punch to remove small rectangles of paper card from a beige coloured card .
Cards were sent to Monash Uni for processing and about 2 weeks later sheets of paper got sent back .
I excelled at bending the paper clip . Went downhill from there

I can remember upgrading drom a daisy wheel to a dot matrix, and that the PC had a 20Mb Hard Drive with 640Kb of main memory (the rest of the 1mb used for upper memory), and that we were lucky to have a maths co processor. Punch cards are still before my time...

The guy two doors up the road had a Microbee 16, then I found out that a mate up the other end of Loftus had a C64. Wow!!!
