Hi Lindsay,
Yes they came, and were ancient history, by the time you came
along! My sister used to
be a "keypunch operator", back in the early sixties! As far as I
can figure, she was a prototype for a data entry person. Fine job
for a girl just out of high school, back in those days!
More than you wanted to know, I'll bet! <smile

Brian and List,
This may be a dumb question, but what exactly is a punched card?
I'm
seventeen years old. Did these come before my time? Or am I just
being
ignorant? smile. Thanks.
Lindsay

I've read the entire Braille Note Mpower QT manual, and I don't
recall it mentioning a way of getting how much space is free on
your card directly.
I suppose if you do a directory of all files and manually add up
the displayed file sizes and were to subtract this sum from the
size of the card you would get either a good approximation or an
exact amount of available storage.
If you have a PC with a card reader, I guess you could do a
directory on it with Windows and get the sum of file usage and
the free space.
Guess it pays to buy big storage cards.
I have a 1 GB SD card and was trying to figure out how many
cartons of punched cards it would take to hold the same amount
of
data.
I think it is something incredible like a thousand cartons of
punch cards, each carton holding ten thousand cards to hold what
a little SD card that I could lose in my pocket if I'm not
careful can hold.
That is one very big saving of space!
Brian
