Nope, but somewhere I still have printouts of Obelix, a naked girl on a
stool, and maybe one other - if the silverfish haven't eaten them, given
they're forty years old. We can pretty much guarantee that the shoeboxes
of Hollerith cards from which they were printed are no longer extant -
they belonged to the uni computer centre staff. Another student
and I printed them out one evening when the staff had gone home, and we
had the mainframe to ourselves until we also decided to call it a day.
The variable density overprinting used to bring up the picture quality
of the girl made the drum printer sing a bit. Running over several
pages, the picture was about half a metre high, or more.
