Walt,
It's a wonder they didn't drop the cards on the floor to shuffle them at the
same time - I sometimes thought it might make a better program<g>
And did you ever have to carefully replace punched out by mistake chads?
(Yes - you've guessed it, I started out as a Fortran programmer with decks
of cards)

I was called in to consult for IBM on some FORTRAN programs which were
literally "cut in half". Right through the middle of DO LOOPS, they cut.
Just took half of a deck of program cards, then put the necessary control
cards around them.
That was the damnedest mess I ever did see. For some reason they were
running behind schedule on the project. <grin>
