@chrisaldrich It’s like having the library at home! Steep price, yes, but not if you really, really want it.
@chrisaldrich I’ve only just gotten my first pack of index cards, so it’ll be a looong time before I’m able to fill that up!
I’m moving at a clip of about 1,000 cards every 5-6 months. Still might take a few years to fill up the Singer (55,700 cards) or the Gaylord (38,000 cards). Maybe you should start out with something from one of your namesakes?
Syndicated copies:
@chrisaldrich surely it’s time for a Zettelpunk remake of the Spike Jonze movie Her. That’s the promotion poster.
@odd Mine’s also early 1900s, though not quite as old, but I only paid $250 for it. Maybe mine is just a cheaper date?? ️

@chrisaldrich that’s a lot of cards.
I’m mostly going to start with personal information, to help with my memory, and university studies.
