Deep inside a Delaware strip mall closet, an old, forgotten Pentium computer's NPC.EXE is running wild, compiling deranged and out-dated modmails that read... well, retarded like THIS! Any local frogs up for a mission? Please find & unplug this poor museum relic of a PC! It is suffering! 🐸

Yep, I had that also. Fortran 77 on punch cards which we'd drop off at some counter for someone to run at some point and then you'd come back to find the output. Sometimes, the output would indicate one of the cards had an error so all that time was wasted as your program didn't run and produce any output. You had to fix the card and resubmit your deck.
Wait 12 hours to find out you missed a comma and it's due in two hours.
