You know what the Computer Science field needs???

That's Right!!!   TRADING CARDS!!!

Everybody else has them:  NASCAR, Wrestling, Space, Countries,
                          Kentucky Derby.

We could have cards with--

PERSONALITIES-  picture on the front, data on back
       Marvin Minsky, John McCarthy, von Neumann, Turing,
        Wozniak, Capt Crunch, etc.
      have scientists, theorists, writters, inventors,
       everyone who has made an impact.

COMPUTERS- Cray, Connection Machine, IBM PC, Mac, Amiga, Atari, etc.

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES- Lisp, Pascal, C, BASIC, etc.

CONCEPTS- OOP, AI, Neural net, telecommunications, etc.


They could set aside time at Conferences to trading of cards.

What do you all think????
