That is a good way of looking at. Always looking on the bright side, hey Rob...
Some of the programmers I work with have been around a "long" time. And several times they have gotten into stories about actually using Punch Cards and programming. Especially stories about "dropping" them and getting them all mixed. Luckily I have nothing to contribute to that story. But I expect the day will come when I will be talking about using a "Keyboard" and mouse to enter code and some young whipper snapper will be looking at me like a fossil..
