Punch cards?! Punch cards??! Why, when I was a lad, we would have killed for a punch card. We used to have to go down to the Ganges to scoop up mud to make tablets, then we had to scrawl our data in cuneiform under the blazing sun all day long. 10,000 of my kinsmen were killed in a raid on China trying to steal the secrets of the abacus! We couldn't even count to ten most of the time because the Pharoh would cut off our fingers if we made a programming error!
