As part of this job, he had to work in government buildings and liason with the bureaucrats there. The bureaucrats were always coming up with brilliant ?:-)? ideas for saving time, space and money. One day, one of these managers mentioned to my father that he had come up with a great way of saving space. "Why", he asked, "don't we store the blank punch cards on disk, and get rid of all those boxes?" Eric Stern Suny StonyBrook
