I'm debugging someone's code here at work-- it's based on a FORTRAN program a different someone wrote back in around 1984 or '85. The copy of the original program I'm verifying against is printed from a dot-matrix tractor-feed printer, still with the feed holes attached. This makes me nostalgic for the days when my brother and I used to type in long computer programs for our Commodore 64. Invariably, there'd be some kind of bug, to find which we'd have to print the whole damn thing out and peruse line-by-line.

Yep, good times. Also, who knew that the C= 64 processor ran at an astonishing 1.023 MHz?
