I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday about punch cards. Like happened to many others, I dropped my stack of cards one day, and putting them back in order was not a fun way to re-code my program. I'm curious though, how big is the team that maintains the card reading machine? I would have expected there are much cheaper ways to backup your precious code. ;-) And are those 16bit cards so that unicode is supported? And I would guess this is way off topic, but I'm just joining in the fun. I'll run and duck for cover now.
