Did not realize there was so much interest/demand for the old machines.  I can't imagine anyone having any useful function for their original intended purpose.  Is there still any application for punched cards?  Or are they just antique display items?

Oh well, I just hope I can come across an unused/unwanted relic in which I can give new life and purpose while there are still some of us that even remember their existence.   <https://s.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo1.gif>
