I've still got a collection of punch cards dotted around the place, we used them as book marks for many years. Every now and then I'll find one, when I pull a book out of the shelves. Though ours weren't really "punch" cards, they're the ones you colour in bubbles with a lead pencil, rather than punch out a hole. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
