Try doing your program development on a keypunch, with
a 407 for 80-
80 listing.
Get off my lawn...

You were lucky! We had to punch the cards with a Wright Line
one-character-at-a-time manual punch and read our "listings"
off the top of the cards...

I gave up on my lawn long ago...

Heh.
You must have worked for GM. :p At one place I worked, there were a
couple of 024 keypunches, which didn't print across the top of the
card and many punctuation characters had to be multi-punched.
At CDC Sunnyvale, one of programmers in CPD was blind. Cards were
very easy for him to read--and he didn't have to bother running them
through the IBM 557...
