- Close. It's an obsolete card punch that IBM used to make.
- It had a completely automatic mode that was amazing.
- We used to make hollerith jack o'lanterns.

- There's some Van Halen album that has a picture of the old 5150 on the cover,
- kind of watermarked or something. If you look really close you can see it.
