FWIW, I did all of these (glad to have started in Jr High).

Learned to type on a card punch machine. Any missed key, and you got a 
blank card, duped up to your mistake, and continued. Missed keys cost a 
lot of time.

Mainframe console was an IBM Selectric typewriter (with the ball). You 
had to type in a page worth of commands to boot DOS (IBM 360/44).

Video displays were a real luxury when they finally came along.
