As folks have noticed by now, I’ve been having fun playing with icons. I was working up the icon on this post, having scanned one of my 80-column cards from the UCLA Computer Club (I went up to my box of cards, and grabbed a green, white, orange, and brown… I think I still have blue and a whole batch of other varieties up there).

Sigh.<\/p>\n
[Extra Question: The cards from the UCLA Computer Club had the following symbols on them: a log, fan-fold paper, a moose, the words “MU$”, and a reel of tape. Can you identify what each of these things symbolize, and for the paper and tape, the number of columns or tracks that it had?]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
