I was going to add that there is a small company in Texas that not only still uses cards, but uses a 402 to process them. Talk about one for Ripley's.
My all-time favorite is a small establishment on Times Square in New York City. A customer would provide details, the attendant would punch stuff into a card, shuffle it into a deck of a couple of hundred other cards, and run them through a card sorter. After a few times, exactly one card fell into the "lucky" slot, containing the customer's fortune.
