And they're good for signs etc, in that they hold four characters of a 
convenient size (when written with a speed-marker..). Here at DIKU
all abbreviations etc. are four chars long for that reason ;^)

Actually, the use of magnetic media takes away a lot of the mechanical
charm of computer background storage. Paper tape and punched cards are more
*FUN*. Think of the endless fun you can have putting together a stack of cards
dropped on the floor....
