The school I went to didn't actually have a 360-70, they had a simulator
that ran on a Burroughs. However, we had one at work so I did some of my
homework there (with approval) and then after about a week I got a call
from the computer folks.

"Do you need these punch cards that you're getting when your jobs are done?"

"What punch cards?"

So, she gave me a line of JCL to stick in so I no longer got Hollerith
output from jobs that finished :)

Amazing the things the folks that have been around for while can dredge
up, given a small chance :)
