his laptop via USB port at the last VCF east. That demonstation did
a great job of showing me how punch cards were used.
I want to make sure credit goes where credit is due. Brian Knittel
designed the interface and the software: I just built it. :-) It
garnered quite a few doubletakes when people realized it wasn't a
parallel printer port.
