    I worked at a Buick dealership in the 70`s and used a machine that when I put in a stock order, it made a punched tape that I would start once communications had been established with the same type machine at the GM warehouse in Santa Fe Springs. I had worked with a guy that gave me grief who went to work as parts manager at a California Buick dealer. I made a tape that was just enter, enter, enter, etc. and glued it together in a loop and after hours I dialed up his machine and started the tape and ran all his paper out on the floor.
