I want my copy on punched cards (about 16,250,000,000 should do - a stack 
3500km long, weighing about 40000* tonnes :-)
(I think paper tape would be lighter, but the size of the spool would make 
it impractical ;-)


* NB slightly lighter than this due to the removal of chads, so exact 
weight depends upon the data.
