Which card punch? 80 was the IBM 027 cardpunch, but they came out with a model that used 96 holes, and punched round holes rather than rectangular ones (and had square cards). I never used one of those, though. I think I did use the 029, if I remember the model correctly. That one introduced upper and lower case letters. I liked the change, but I was quite the junior programmer on the team, and others though them annoying.
Learned Fortran II using an 029;) to make the card decks. Then they got sent by mail to a near by college to get run. Took 7-14 days to do a round trip and get your deck and printout(could be just the line the program errored out on;) back with a rubber band wrapped around it.
