Those were the days .... I wish that cardstock was available in 8 1/2 X 11 sheets
Asked my wife and she knew exactly what you were talking about and amazed that you could collect 6 bags of the chads! Thought it was hilarious about dumping them in that kids car!

She said she was lucky cause it was then she had gone back to school for accounting and ocmputer programming and the business school she attended had some of the first mini mainframes with "dumb" terminals, but her friend was at U of W and had to use key punch. Her friend really envied my wife! *grin* This was around 1980 and she was in her early 30's.
