Old Code

If someone wanted to visualize what software looked like if it was only made of wire, they would probably be not too far off with this picture. There's a firm in Texas that still uses a computer from 1948 for it's accounting.  It weighs 3000 pounds and uses punched cards - this is what one of their 'apps' looks like.  I would not like to debug this.
