RE: DIY magnetic cards?
This thread reminds me of a story that Dean Lampman (founder of the second-ever PPC chapter; located in Ohio) told toward the end of the 2001 HP Conference in the Chicago area....he got to beta-test the HP-65 for HP back in '73 and they didn't send very many mag cards because they didn't have many manufactured yet. He needed more and decided to make his own by cutting down larger mag cards from one of the HP desktop machines. They worked fine, and when he told HP what he was doing, that apparently got the lawyers' feathers ruffled and they promptly notified him to "cease and desist". No good deed apparently goes unpunished.
