I remember the punch cards being made from a typing pool of about 20 girls who used a one handed keyboard for speed, all linked into am IBM punch machine.

My memory fails a bit, but I remember working on a IBM 4331??? or something like that and VAX machines. Had a printer the size of a horse IBM ribbon printer 3311 and a Honeywell PPS with toilet rolls of paper.

We had telephone modems we had to dial up to transfer wages etc...

It wasn't 1968, it was more like 1986 though.
