@foone I love telling folks about writing programs on a keypunch: "it had a backspace key but no delete!" -- and watching them as they come to understand exactly why.
@foone@TechConnectify I have actually wondered about this before: how come Scantron never got used in this way? It would seem like a pretty big cost reduction and time saver if you had an error in your deck. Did the tech not temporally overlap?
@foone and modern flash kinda sucks because it still basically has this problem. Real easy to go from 1 to 0, but a lot harder to go back the other direction.
