Dera Claudia Nicholson,

being curator for Computers without computers on display must be a nice job.
But: someone should write the story - and the history - of HOLES:

Beings would not be without occasional holes. The wheel could not have been
invented without holes, water would not be dsitributed without holes,
without holes in chimneys no industrial revolution - and as we just learned
- no information age without the holes of punchcards. And our future: We all
will be drawn in by some nameless black hole in the end.

Good hole, as we historians say,

Peter, the Rebernik
