| As a kid I can remember going to my dad's work and helping him on these... Typing in punch cards, putting the cards into the reader and all that fun stuff.... IBM SYSTEM 3.... Lol that's the size of computer it took to do a company's payroll, invoices, and everything - you could probably run all that from your smart phone now, at least a tablet... | |
