That's a good question. While computers are ubiquitous, machines like the 7090 are, if
anything, even rarer than they were back then. They are very different beasts from what we
use today, or will use 20 years from now. Same goes for punch cards.
I'm inclined to believe that the experience of writing a program, punching the cards,
and running it will be just as magical.
