Not to forget winning WW1 and WWII.

I remember punch cards fondly.  At Hughes I took a company-sponsored Fortran IV 
course.  I was in Tucson and the main-frame was in CA.  We would do our coding, 
punch and submit our cards, the batch would be run overnight and we would come 
in the next morning to find out how many typos we made.  I wound up dating one 
of the key punch girls, and reduced my typos to zero.
