Heh.  High school correspondence course.  Fortran. 66.  Coding sheets.  I 
hate coding sheets.

But I am so much smarter than the rest.  I have an account on the 
university Amdahl/470, with both Fortran G *and* H!  So I will just write 
and debug my code there, then punch a deck and submit it in the mail.  Am 
I cool or what?!?

How was *I* to know the poor bastards on the receiving end needed 
026-punched cards :-P
