Sounds like my days as a contract programmer for Burroughs; had the keys to the building and the combination to the (large) machine room and did all my compiling etc. in the night when I was the only one in the building. Some pictures somewhere of a much younger me at the console of a B2700...
The good old days when no one worried about security...
Still have some blank 96 col cards somewhere, as well as edge-punched (PPT format) and 80 col tab cards.
