Not a bootstrap but I can remember splicing paper tapes to make corrections
in the middle of an image rather than repunching the whole thing, and that
was paid for work not a university project.
At uni I used teletypes on a regular basis and punch card machines on
occasion (they were phased out in my second year).
So does that qualify me for grand old git ?
ps. Has this thread been round before, or is that another old git thing.
