[HECnet] punched tape

[Lee Gleason]

How many people on this list have ever used paper tape at a job? My first computer job we used it to control phototypesetting machines. When an 11/70 was added to the mix of gear there, we ordered it with paper tape readers and punches on it to help in   transitioning away from the paper tape only gear it was replacing.

Speaking of IBM...what'd be the maximum storage capacity of a punched card?   I was thinking of TCP/IP over paper tape last night...

TCP/IP over punched cards carried by pigeons, of course.
