     Every once in a while I find a Hollerith Card that was used as a
bookmark in an old text book.  God does it bring back memories.  At the
time I was an undergraduate it was the only way to go!  (I can see it now,
someone will start talking about vacuum tubes, core memory, etc.....).
Thank God I have not found any paper tape from my high school days :-)
