Wow, what are you trying to do Bill? Make those of us who started in this business using punch cards feel like old geezers.

Go, Herman!! I still have a handful of blank cards that I liberated from a service bureau ca. 1985. I use them sometimes to write notes to myself (without punching them, though). They fix perfectly in my shirt pocket.
