			<outline text="Back in the Old Days real men programmed computers by entering code using switches on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/altairFrontPanel.jpg&quot;&gt;front panel&lt;/a&gt; of the computer itself. Then someone invented paper tape. Then someone invented magnetic tape and punch cards."/>
			<outline text="Then teletypes and glass teletypes. And floppy disks, Winchester disks, hard disks so small you could fit 70 gigabytes of data in the palm of your hand."/>
			<outline text="At the same time, someone thought of assembly language, then BASIC and Fortran and COBOL and C."/>
			<outline text="At every step, a well-meaning person would say &quot;What do I need that for, I like entering my programs on front-panel switches. What does this do that I can't do with switches?&quot;"/>
			<outline text="It's the longest-running debate in software."/>
