When my circuits professor was a grad student, he had the job changing 
tubes in Einiac (one would blow out about every 5 minutes, he told us). 
When I was an undergrad, they had one "bank" of it in the newly-created 
computer museum in the Engineering School (University of PA).

I just missed the punch card days, but I did get to use a PDP-8 with 
paper tape at my first job.
