Found a pretty interesting drawing template for flowcharts at Art Parts in #boulder today. Not particularly useful but I couldn't resist when I saw the branding on it. #mainframe #univac #sperry #retrocomputing
Finally, a way to draw a flowchart that includes punch cards, punched tape, and magnetic tape #retrocomputing #boulder
@spike my mom had one just like that in the 70's. She was a programmer from the days of big iron.
@spike I still have one of these from when I had to use them at work
@spike Those symbols are on my old flowchart stencil, too! Ah, memories.
@spike DRUM is not for storage but used to summon the ops team when the sever goes down
@spike Very nice! I still have an IBM branded one from my college flowcharting class in the mid 90s. I'm not sure anyone ever bothered updating the standard symbols you find on these things before most people just started to use software like Visio for these tasks instead. A quick search online seems to suggest they're still on all the current examples you can buy new today.
@spike 100% yep I’d have bought that as well
