I wish I had that, when I started we programmed the Honeywell controls with boxes of punch cards stored in a filing cabinet next to the EWS. We eventually got a disk reader added, the floppies were about the size of a vinyl album

Office at the college. We’ve grown old together, and gone from punchcards to AI.
When I met my wife she was carrying a box full of punch cards. Cutest little office girl I ever met. She worked for the Vets

A couple of years ago my dad brought home a hard drive from work that needed to be destroyed. He doesn't remember the capacity but said that it came from a DAC computer at a chemical plant. It was a good 4 or 5 inches tall and a very small capacity. I remember looking it up at the time and I think it was $3,000+ back in the day. Brain wants to remember $13000 but I think that is off.
The subject falls into the "Awesome" category.
The Fat Electrician is one of my favorite youtubers.
Was I the only one who punched a hole on the other side so that I could make them double sided disks to double the storage?
Yes... because I'm not admitting to being THAT old.
anybody know what kind of fish this is?

Not mine, but many moons ago I worked at a place which had these. They were mothballed as "modern" computer's were alive and thriving, but they certainly had them in one of the offices and one old machine which ran on tapes.
Cut my teeth on one like it in college and used one at one of my jobs as well.
Figured out how to send print jobs to one in college so I was able to develop/test from a terminal and still turn in cards for the assignment.
ETA: Just realized I used the word "terminal" ... does that even mean anything to younger nerds anymore?

(we used a version of those for coding and decoding back in the day.)
I have used the following computers back in the day…
