Now THAT'S a really good solution to the problem of reading old cards.

There are very few places where you can have your old cards read in, 
these days. Actually, in Denmark, the only place I've heard of who does
this sort of thing professionally charges some 40 cent *PR CARD*. 

[actually, our Electronics club (for EE students) has a working
 card reader, we just haven't gotten around to selling the card 
 reading service..
