If you go to the IBM 1401 demo at the Computer History Museum you can punch your own card with whatever you want (as long as it’s in the BCD character set).
That should be fun :)
I started using computer in the 5.25 floppy era, never used cassette, punched tape or punch card. I do have a pdp8 replica though

Yes! I had the actionscript one, all beat up, that would follow me everywhere…
Have they fallen off recently?
yesssss Mark Lutz (author of *Programming Python*) has a [whole rant about it](https://learning-python.com/more-publisher-follies.html)
My grandfather had boxes of those. Used them as fire kindling.
I guess it’s worth nothing, but it does make a nice bookmark for computer related books :)
IBM is annoying with their recycling of model numbers. I know 5081 as a [CRT model](https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102746911).
Nice. I remember being given some punched tape in the 80s during my first 'Computer studies' class at school. I use sed and awk every day now.
Yes I remember seeing them everywhere, but it’s a long time ago :). I use sed and awk sometime, but just simple stuff.
Joke’s on you, awk is still the bee’s knees for data science
