...From what I understand (not being old enough to know first-hand), you were okay as long as the core memory didn't melt down (literally). The only thing that got used up a lot would have been cardstock. Also--I'm sure DaWei has stories of his own--evidently the biggest hazard with punch cards was accidentally dropping a pile of them, which you then had to manually sort out, otherwise your entire program would be out of order!

Core didn't melt down. Core (which has come to mean ANY memory) is made of little ferrous toroids with sense and write windings. Sometimes the drivers melt down. Do not drop the freakin' deck, or you may be skip-duping to the unemployment line.
