I have this vague memory that back in the day, any
well-equipped computer
operator would have a tool in the desk drawer
which trims the end of a mangled
magtape to a nice, neat curve. Do I actually
remember that, or did I make it
up? As I get older, my imagination is getting
better than my memory, and it's
getting a lot easier to vividly remember things
that never happened.
Nope, it's real. I used to have one somewhere. Was there also something
for embossing a ridge or two into the tape so you could get the free end
loose for sure? That one's hazier.
