OK, geezers (and I include myself in that elite group), how many of you remember
when "skip to" on output specs referred to a hole physically punched in the

Remember when standard records were 80 bytes ?  Remember why?

Remember the sense of freedom when transaction records were expanded to 96
bytes?  How could it get any better?
