Another way China is ahead of us. This would be automatically tied to your national profile. No cards.

If only we all already had a card(s) where this information could be easily put...

Just curious Troy, are you old enough to remember actual punch cards? Not the tie clock ones, but the computer ones.

Probably not, but I clocked in an out on jobs (both hourly and salary) until I got my job at the current company 10 years ago. For those jobs, it was sometimes at a register, sometimes at the front desk computer, sometimes on a write in sheet.

Actually, I still do that at this position it's but it's to figure out billable hours at EOW.

I used to maintain actual timeclocks before I joined the military.

And I remember my grandfather programming punch cards back in 1977.

My dad used punch cards, I never have, but I knew what they were as a kid. Floppy disks (those big, 7.5"?) ones were the first media I used.

There were a couple of those in the jr high computer lab, but my first removable media was the 5.25" floppy.

I remember the high school bought a hard disk drive.... maybe 200MB? And they said it was something like $7k

TRS-80s.

My first thought was 20, but that doesn't seem big enough. Was a long time ago.

This was like 1985.

Couldn't have been 200. My first PC in 1993 was like 160MB.

I miss the Commodore 64 days, my modem, and those big ass floppy disks.

Autoduel forever!
