It wasn't an actual punch card, but we had a card similar to that you had to slide down in the clock, think it used a magnetic strip, wasn't a fun system.[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/Igorod/troopdod.jpg[/img]

Now I have heard that punch cards were used in computing is some sort of way. My father worked for IBM form 40.5 years and he used to tell me about them and the 12" hdd disks that held a small amount of data.
Now if you are talking about time cards then I had to use one at the restaurant I worked at as a teenager.

My first job, I had a punch card. Not an actual punch, more of a paper card that I would slide in a clock that would stamp the IN and OUT.
In a later job, I was actually implementing punch clocks in printing plants... not the physical installation, but more of the configuration of the software and rules around how the hours that are clocked are handled, along with training of the managers and what not. They were the magnetic strip plastic cards most companies use today.[this is where my funky sig would go. But I don't have one.
So all you get is this crappy text]Comment

I used them in school AND I still have a bunch.
I learned FORTRAN, RPGII, Assembler and COBOL using punch cards.
The first Datacenter I worked at the manager didn't trust disk drives, so for ever AR record that went in a disk file, he also had the program punch a card. At month end he had a cabinet full of cards that had to be read in to verify that the disk data was correct. LOL!A change of Pace.
