  Yep. Just finished ripping about 150 of our DVD collection and space was filling up, went looking for HDDs and was surprised at the prices. Now I know why.

  I have an invention that… well, you be the judge; What if we take some cheap paper… and put holes in it ? If we place the holes in a certain way, they will resemble digits and we could store information via holes in a paper ‘card’ !!

  No more ram/storage problems! …oh, and very organic btw !!

  Hm, we probably need a family member to do the punching/reading of holes, but doable.

  Whaddoyuthink - is it a killer invention or what ?

    I’d like to see a single movie stored on punch cards. It would be massive.

      Not to mention the time it would take to ingest that data
