You had keys!!!

 

I had to punch the holes directly into the cards.  I can't understand
all the fuss about a return key...  All you had to do was throw in a new
card.

		Macs have always had a Return key, and so did many glass
TTYs, including the Televideo models that I once used:

	Gosh... I remember those things, and Lear Siegler too...
	You had a return key!!! ... I had to use Control M and Control
J...
	You had Control M and Control J, I had to use Baudot, they
didn't have a control key...
	But at least Baudot had a shift key...
