I overlooked that we were talking about modern, bleached white 3X5 cards here. I tell ya....the world went to heck in a hand basket. In the good old days, they wrote notes on birch bark-and did a very fine job, thank you very much. Then, some square-heads did studies, that falsely stated 3X5 white cards were the way to go.[:0] We all know, the industry should have never phased out the birch bark![}:)][:o)]

I hope they make them 4x6, the writing on 3x5 cards can get so small trying to get all my thoughts on them, wait, maybe a 2x4 would work fine for that!
.....Wait....We already have 2 by 4's....Oh, that's still wood.

Regurgitating this thread and seeing some of the old names makes me think about how much I miss people who insisted on arguing in the abstract.
