Almost interesting story concerning my father and IBM

When my father was a young man (which was about a hundred years ago) he had some pretty strict thoughts about dress codes. Most of it came from his English upbringing.

When he was hired on at IBM, they still used punch cards. Anyone working in the area where the punch card readers were, was required to wear a clip on tie.

My father quit after the second day.

Way to go dad!
