Wondering when the last card reader died. We had one at University of Waterloo 
until 1984 or 1985; we had a full professor who insisted on using cards. We 
finally told him he'd have to pay the maintenance-that convinced him (or, more 
likely, his Dean) that it was time to use terminals.

What's the latest anyone remembers using a card reader?

BTW, http://www.cardamation.com/punchcardmedia.html claims to still sell them, 
if you need an 80-byte fix!
