Ob Keypunch: Back in the day they had a Control Data Institute ad on TV
that boasted "Do you like working with your hands and not getting your
fingernails dirty?", I then remarked that this guy has NEVER replaced a
keypunch ribbon. (*SIGH*) those days were much more fun!!
I used to tease the CDC CE's with that line when they were digging
bits and pieces of shredded printer ribbon out of a 512 printer type
train (a not infrequent occurrence). If looks could kill...
Cheers,
Chuck
