TCP/IP over punched cards carried by pigeons, of course.
I mentioned that in my next reply. ;)

I sense an april 1 RFC here... :-)
Maybe! I could always make it IPoPC/ACR (IP over Punched Card/Avian-Carrier relay)
Classic 80 column punched card: 120 bytes if punched in unrestricted "column binary", 80 byte if punched in extended EBCDIC code (as on the IBM 360 green card) where only one of rows 1-7 is punched per column.
Hmm. It would be rather slow on real hardware, but it seems like it might be doable to "network" older systems. ;)

Hello!
No, what happened is that your place was surrounded by a bigger
version of what Slimer happened to be. It exploded and covered your
place in what is politely called slime.
However there are indicators that it was sent by someone in Ohio.

Is that a number, a misplaced number, or did I break my encoding again?
It's ham parlance, CW shorthand, that basically means "seeya, have a good one".
Ah. Makes sense. Good to see I didn't break my encodings again...I have a habit of ending up with mismatched encodings...

Hello!
No your mail reader didn't blow a quad trying to figure out how Dave
signed off for his response. That's all it was.
