[WEB4LIB] card catalog

[TMGB]

Actually, I did think about the card catalog the day the whole campus
network went down in April (new and improved backbone equipment :-) )
and thought.. wouldn't it be nice to have a tangible backup.  Amazingly
enough, the VT420s were the last to lose their opac connection that day
and the terminal system on campus officially had its last day of support
on 12-31-99.
