Gah, that reminds me of my first year of high school.  Grade 10 Intro Computers with TRS-80 IIIs, with a whopping 8K memory!  And tape drives where you could store your amazing programs on a cassette!  Mind you, the grade 11 and 12 students had slightly better systems.  I remember that the portable hard drives were as big as garbage can lids.

Ken is still crying about the lack of a punch card machine in the computer room at work.

You mean punching bag.  I don't think I've even seen an actual punch card system before.
