  Yeah, but I can't get the darn punch card reader to hook up to the SCSI port.
  Maybe the NeXT isn't fast enough to handle the raw speed provided by punch
  cards...  Oh, the new UNIVAC emnulator is out on junk.emulators.next.com,
  it even simulates blowing out vacuum tubes (pretty cool eh?).
  
You mean there is life for my Univac 1100 programs once they do in fact get
rid of ours on April 1 (no foolin' :-)

Gee, with a little screen hacking, I bet I could make a NeXT look like a
Univac SMU. :-)
