 Also grocery lists.  Also, folded once, as a convenient sized and
 quite durable pants-pocket-containable record of miscellaneous
 information.  And I try always to have a few blank cards in my
 briefcase (so I can take blank looks at them :-)).
 
 Long, long ago, someone at our installation fixed a hardware bug
 with a card.  The bug consisted of intermittently shorting
 adjacent terminals.  The fix consisted of ramming a card
 between them.
