   	Well I could - and mention the joys of using a card saw to unblock   
   the 1442.

   	If you prepared the cards with sequence numbers in columns 73-80   
   then you just dropped them into a sorter (if the site had a sorter) -   
   otherwise it was less easy. It's the paper tape that someone trod on while   
   you were feeding it into the spooler that was less fun.   
      
   	No I do not miss those days, nor the overflowing box of waste paper   
   beside the printer under the notice ...   
      
   	TOWARDS THE   
   	 PAPERLESS   
   	  OFFICE   
      
   	That adorned one place where I worked on developing machines with   
   64K and twin floppies.
