Aww man, you have a card line running through your city? Man, the closest line near me is 100 miles away. I don't go cardfanning but every other month. The only thing I ever see are those 35.8" guys who keep patching over the smaller guys.

No no, no! Not a 3x5 + 5x3 and/or 4x6 + 6x4! I realize the parallel mergers were a good thing back in the 70's, when computers started taking the business from the card companies. But now there's such a shortage of card capacity that I'll bet many of the guys that engineered the big mergers wi***hey had some of that space back. The Internet Highway System is getting more cogested everywhere you go. Instead of 3x5 and 5x3 merging and leaving 6x4 and 4x6 to combine, 3x5 should combine with 6x4 and 5x3 with 4x6. The new 3564 and 5346 companies will have all the advantages of longer lines and we can eliminate some of those terminal delays that occur when you have to unload you thoughts and start them on a new page. Now that 3x5 & 5x3 have digested their breakup of ConNote (that was formed to save the indusrty after the New York Note Paper and Keystone Cardstock merged into Papyrus Central that collapsed and took down everything from Erie Eraseable, Reading Booknotes and a host of other companies), I think the industry is ready for two 8x10 companies that can compete everywhere with each other.

The only question is will the STB (Scribing Typewriter Board) allow it?

You people just don't get it. Note card theory has been around for hundreds of years. It was shaping the future outcome of the notecard industry since Honest Abe was using a quill pen! Only a total ninny would dare argue with my note card theory, when it's so obviously right in my mind. Sometimes I think you people use note cards just for the sake of using note cards. How dare you use history and logic against me, just because all of you are wrong.

Don't you realize that this is a bad idea for so many reasons! I mean seriously, it's just a way to identify cardfans for the card companies. After all, 3x5 cards pose a real threat to homeland security. Can you imagine if a terrorist used 3x5 cards in an attack?

Besides, signing up for the program will just mean that we will have a bunch of card carrying card fans running wild like Barney Fife. No thank you, I think I'll remain an anonymous cardfan.

The union has been pushing for 10X8 for years but managment refused to listen. [banghead][(-D][oops]

First the Japanese and Europeans, and now the Chinese!!! When will this country finally wake up to the need for hi-definition index cards? The government needs to finance and promote HDIC. It's the future!!! We just need to get over our reliance on non-efficient post-it-notes. All we need is a big ol' tax on post-it-notes. That would not only cut down the useage of post-it-notes, but the windfall from this tax could be used to financeHDIC. Wake up folks!

LOL, so true, so true.[;)]

What in tarnation does this have to do with 3X5 index cards anyway. Can't any of stay on topic for cryin' out loud.[;)]

[espeefoamer]

Amazing.[%-)] One page on stars,one on spel chekerz[;)], and THREE pages on 3X5 cards.
Even after the stars are gone,the post counts should stay as they are.

The thread might have gotten hijacked, but it's been one of the more amusing on the forums in a while...

I heard that Stuart Hall was going to spend millions building a new state of the art index card press in Indianapolis, expecting to creat jobs for thousands of Ohio buckeyes, but the Riley Children's hospital is blocking it, telling them to take the ohio jobs to illinois, where it won't threaten innocent sick children with paper cuts.

[coborn35]

Or the loud sounds when the cards get waved.

Those fools! There was paper long before there was an Indianapolis. It must be a conspiracy of
outside interests that want us all to go back to scribbling on cave walls!!![}:)][;)][:I]

I'm sorry...I just don't like the photography in Classic Index Cards. Popular Index Cards and Notetaking strives to meet the needs of the aesthetically appreciative card fan. I pity the poor souls that only get the former without the latter.

Anybody else see the article in this month's Progressive Business Card about imported Chinese index cards causing a bottleneck in 3X5 card infrastructure rates? [:-,][:o)]

Pretty soon it will get so bad that the people at Wayerhouser and Georgia Pacific will no longer have incentive to plant "paperstock" trees, and then you know what will happen? Ayn Rand will write another book.

     Any truth to the rumor that 3x5 cards in the future will be made out of the government subsidized, leftovers from ethanol plants?  ()

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!

[Modelcar]

.....Wait....We already have 2 by 4's....Oh, that's still wood.

Where are the stars? I don't see them.

[TimChgo9]

Thanks for this thread.....

Sheesh, I now have to wipe the coffee off of my laptop screen....

3x5 and 5x3 card mergers..indeed. HDIC?? Papyrus Central? ConNote???

Very funny.....really, it was.

[Murphy Siding]

This is actually something of a running parody, to remind us that we take some things way to seriously.  (Note the dates.)
