Ha! The first computer I programmed was a Monroe/Litton programmable
calculator where you had to punch out the chads by hand. It sure beat
the hell of shorting wires together, on a 20ma current loop, in

Oh yes, I did play with the patch bays on an IBM 604 once, but that was
after I was introduced to the Monroe/Litton's.
