In specific settings, where programmers are writing programs
for today's mainframe systems, you even encounter youngsters
picking up terminology from their elderly counterparts; they
say things like "My job card isn't working!" or "There is
something wrong with the data cards." or even "The object deck
cannot be found." They also "print" files, "load" "tapes",
"punch" objects, and re-IPL. :-)
