Are the readers in question these ones in Canada?

If so, the presumed cost of shipping is the main thing that has kept me from adopting one of them. Well, that and being in debt at the moment from other recent acquisitions. And not having a clear space to set one down. And not having a keypunch, let alone room for a keypunch in my tiny little packed-full house.

But I do think they look quite cool! And if I find solutions to all of those impediments before you find loving homes for all of those readers, I may yet adopt one of them. I was born just late enough to miss using punched cards, so I think that experiencing them would be fun since I've never learned otherwise by needing to use them in anger.
