Off Topic: Punchcard Lawyer
CK - Washington. Quite off-topic. Ran into another lawyer with a punchcard history. It has become rare to meet lawyers who know how to operate a telex machine, what an eight inch or five and quarter floppy is, remember shiny fax foil and LP-sized hard drives or who can appreciate a 300 baud acoustic modem. Punchcards seem prehistoric but sure help connect. Settled an IT/IP conflict that could have blown into a protracted affair, in a day, like back when punchcards prevailed.
