My high school had Commodore CBMs, like a Pet but with a real keyboard,
80 columns and 32K of memory. The professor brought in a small WANG
computer that read punched cards for data entry and had us all use it.
We didn't understand why, he just asked us to trust him, we'd
understand.

So, technically, I started out programming with punch cards.  :)
