我说这些肯定让你们觉得,我好像是台穿孔卡片计算机一样古旧，但我自己那时对自己,2400波特率的调制解调器相当自豪。

This makes me all sound like punched card computers to you, But for me i was very proud of my 2400 baud modem.

1970年代初，我曾在计算机科学课程中学习使用穿孔卡在一台IBM计算机上运行basic程序，那台计算机又大又热，以致需要拥有自备的冷却房间。

In an early 1970s computer-science class, I learned to organize punch CARDS to run basic programs on an IBM computer so big and hot that it had its own supercooled building.

“你们这些年轻人记住，IBM是在“穿孔卡”上建立起来的，“穿孔卡”将永远是IBM的立足之本。”据说这是一名IBM老员工对第一台磁带机的开发者说的一句话。

"You young folks remember, IBM was built on punch CARDS, and our foundation will always be punch CARDS," a veteran IBMer is reported to have said to one of the developers of the first tape-drive.
