And Punch cards were still used in 1980-1983 in the Respiratory Sciences Division at UA.

At UA, one of my class mates took SIE170 in about 1982-3 
approx. They used punch cards feeding a Cyber 175, IIRC.

That following summer session, I took SIE170. We used a VAX 
11/780 or 11/785 with VMS accessed on Zenith dumb terminals.

This was when there was parking at the Computer Center off 
of Mountain.. This was one of many surface parking lots to 
be later built-on-top-of.
