take to store
even one floppy disk? And then, where are all these cards
going to go? Where does one store millions of punched cards? Who's going
to pay for this?
First, whose twisting your arm? It was a thought, and only that! Again reread tape is not cards! the information
density of tape FYI is
higher than cards and laks the "ordering" problem if dropped. Also no
rule says 10 punches per linear inch is required, you could go 16 wide
and 20 per inch upping the denity fourfold. Or better yet optically
print the image (density limits already mentiond are 100-1000x).
Still impractical.
Dream a bit, maybe a cheap idea will emerge.
I'm always dreaming, baby!
