    Well it seems like a thread about programming might or might not be a good idea. After all, we've already had over 40 posts on this thread and haven't yet made that decision.

    Anyone know about PDP8 punched paper tape codes? Or should I start a new thread?

    As in the ones used in CNC Lathes et al? :confused:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    I remember learning to read tape (paper) and cards...though that was a long time ago, and the technology was already pretty much defunct (1982 ish)

    You kids! :p

    I remember punching holes in cards with a metal spike (imagine the 'elf 'n safety these days), then waiting 3 days for the usually faulty ream of paper to arrive.

    That was early '70s at school, kept away from computers totally until I was given a win98 machine 4 yrs back, self taught since, with help from reading this forum.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Seems a good place to ask, anyone had any experience with the netbeans IDE for C/java/PHP?
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.
