I think punched tapes for teletype was before cards, but not sure.
(Sure, loom cards predate them all.)
I used punch tapes like that in HS with a teletype machine, around 1968, but those had been around a long time by then.
The weird thing is, I have no idea (some suspicions) what computer system that teletype connected to....
By '72, in college, it was all punch cards...with the same 'Later That Day' response time![]()

"It used to be festooned with bras and pants all through our night duty. Back then it must have looked a real sight."

I heard another about the huts getting very hot in summer, and operators stripping to their underwear. I can't find the source for that one at the moment.
Yes, guess I was thinking more specifically of computer storage.
Also, does this count as a DAC?
