That's how we processed aircraft maintenance information when I first enlisted, a typist (not me) would input the data from the forms onto IBM key punch cards using a machine like this... I had to program the template card which created the data fields, which sat on a spool behind the little window at the middle top of the machine. We'd then take a box stacked full of those IBM cards to be run overnight, and the reports from the data came back on stacks of continuous dot matrix printer paper like CH posted.

Another reason to love Trump!

Instead of bringing back her illegal uncle, let's send her to wherever he was sent! The quicker we rid US society of this self-entitled scum such as this, the better!

Yeah, leave 9.6 million beneficiaries suddenly without medical coverage. How could that go wrong?!? 🫢 Yes, Tricare needs restructuring and revising; but killing it is not an option.
