I still have fond memories of working on the 029 keypunch machines, the keys made such a satisfying sound. I also remember the rooms where thousands of chads from punching the cards collected and had a certain smell and the bright overhead lighting, the ample air conditioning, the raised floors, the background noise of the machines, the whirling tape drives; it was an experience I'll never forget.
