	Speaking of software and hardware for those machines, what 
about *new* software and hardware programmed / created for vintage 
systems?  For instance, Mike Loewen had a card reader interfaced to 
his laptop via USB port at the last VCF east.  That demonstation did 
a great job of showing me how punch cards were used.
