Seems great as > how wonderful the technology has become! Punch cards, including the ones drawn on in lead pencil, are the ultimate long term storage device. It requires no special machinery to be read, it can be done by eye, and machinery can be built to read cards when the original isn't available. That's not something so easily done with old magnetic or laser optical media. When the lead pencil dots are drawn above and below a character, it's to mark the character between them. When they're drawn on a character, they mark the character that they're drawn on. I think the JPEG has enough resolution to be readable. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
