OK, we'll cancel the project of getting you a farm of ultra-durable card
punches. :-)
It was already looking as though there might be difficulty locating 2
million boxes of blank punch cards. (288G) Per copy.
Even the just over a million 8" SSSD floppies were back-ordered.
And paper tape would have required opening a new factory.
. . . and we'd have had to build up a fleet of station wagons to hurtle
down the highway.
