...last!" exclaims the blurb on the naughty-pink front of this handsomely-boxed "special collector's limed edition" (there is, of course, no regular edition), "At last!

This is just one small consequence of a massive switch that we have recently made from punch cards to a new system of Electronic Data Processing, which stores coded facts for each subscription on tapes...
