(pre-Unix) dealing with punched cards and paper tape -- my first contact 
with PDP-8 was via paper tape -- I brought my dissertation programs to 
IBM in boxes of punch cards.
Changing Selectric type balls -- the first office terminal I had at IBM 
Yorktown (in 1975) was a 1050, similar to a 2741, and my first home 
terminal (in 1980!) was a 2741.
