That is cool. Thanks for posting it.

Reminds me of something that happened to me many years ago.

I had a date with a young lady who maintained Cobol programs for an insurance company. At the end of the date, when I returned to the car, I found a punch card on the car seat. It had been punched with the typing turned off. When I decoded it, it read "THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL EVENING." I later asked how she knew it would be a wonderful evening. She said there was a second card punched for that occasion. I never found out what the other card said.

I'll bet that second card said something like "IT WAS FUN BUT LETS NOT SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN."

And when she keypunched that card, she would have turned printing "on"!!
