Linux is KING - Couldn't be hacked - Mac, Vista went down in flames

[Les]

On my punch cards they did.  Every card had a number sequential to the
sequence.  The punch we used inserted them automatically.  Well, the
programming card did.  The reference number used for calls may have been
different, but I don't remember it.  

	Our programs were HUGE, multiple trays.  Each tray was denoted by the
color of the diagonal line.  We had 8 colors, so I guess we never had
more than 8 trays, because I don't remember pairs of lines anywhere.
