It's clstr7 we're talking about here.

A hundred of those could ruin every forum on the Internet.

Consolidate to the BladeSymphony! With uber sexy firmware virtualization.

Editga: Having now read the actual subject of this awesome thread, I'll toss in that MICR, those little magnetic characters on your checks, was developed back in the 50s for use with ERMA, the first banking computer. It's a form of data storage too. Those things could process 600 checks a minute, compared with the 100 or so an hour a person could do by hand.
