Ahh for the days of 800 bpi reel to reel tape where you could actually see if data was recorded on tape with a ferrite dust indicator.
punched paper tape
Where are the punch cards?
Yeah. I don’t miss the weekly, monthly and annual tape backups. Missing from the image (off to the side) are the tape storage cabinets.
I prefer home grown.
HAL! I didn’t recognize you!
But I think the spirit of locally sourced artisanal data is on a C64 cassette tape.
I still have programs on paper tape. Theoretically, one could read those by sight and debug the errors.
Editing was a cut and paste job :D
