I don't remember punch cards but do remember loading games from a 5.25" floppy as the computer didn't have a hard drive. I also remember drawing cars with CAD software on computers specially built for CAD applications. They didn't have a mouse (and for those in the know, it was even before the 'pucks'). All it had was an octagonal D-pad of sort to control where the cursor was on screen. I was admittedly pretty young at that stage, though.
Oh, and for once on topic, thank you all for the great memories of the old-days of LFS. It's been a wonderful ride! I still can't get enough after more than 7 years. Great work guys!
Now for S3... (now giddy with excitement just thinking about it)
