I did a quick

ask a few colleagues at work and see if they have heard of them.
Well, there not being many other ways to make holes in

Well, when I was making a notepad (using the old pages from a Dilbert
desk calendar) I just clamped the paper between a piece of 1/4" sheet
wood and the circuit board backer; then used my hand drill. Kept the
clamps as close to the hole location as possible.
The circuit board I used, IIRC, as a backer was a ISA riser card from
an IBM PC300GL PC. Cut off all but one of the card edge slots. Keeps the
pads at a good angle for use, and hanging... :)
