Default Re: OT: The irony of SG1

Another piece of irony - When computers were new and generally came in vaccuum tubes, programmers used cards with holes punched out to store data bits.

Now that computers are old (Relatively) and come in cpus packed with millions of transisters that are one inch accross, the most common data storage units (CDs and DVDs) are...Wait for it...Cards with holes punched in them.
