And before that, they were toggled directly into the machine using physical switches!

Pretenders with your advanced technology. I had to use a plugboard.

I first used toggle switches to input things into a PDP-11/?? I was trying to debug back in 1982 at Rose-Hulman. I next used them to toggle things into an IMSAI earlier this year... the PDP-11 had a better feel, but in both cases it really sucks.
