I've still got a few paper cards floating around. I don't have the punch cards, though, but the type where you colour in the bubbles with a lead pencil, rather than punch them out. I never found out if they had their own something-card name. As media goes, cards will have the longest lifespan, and still be perfectly readable even if the original reader hardware dies. All you'd need to do is write a program for an ordinary optical scanner. Unlike being faced with having to build hardware to read a magnetic disc or tape, or optical disc, when someone need to read some archival data in the future on unsupported media. -- [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.
