Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

I used to carry boxes of them to the storage room in 1966 or 1967. This 
was at Northern Pacific headquarters here, I think - or Great Northern.. 
I forget.

There was a room full of keypunch machines - must have been 30 or 40 or 
them, as I recall. And the computer was behind a glass wall and the 
people inside all wore white lab coats.

I never dropped any of those boxes, either, by the way!!
