It may be an urban myth, but I recall it being linked to the fact that the
029 punch needed upper case for numerics and it was quicker to touch type if 
all alpha was involved (that is assuming that the programmers had such skills 
in the first place - sadly lacking in yours truly!!  Can anyone else confirm 
(or deny)?
