Re: Apple IIs really like orange juice

                      -=[ Apple IIs Really Like Orange Juice! ]=-

  Coming across a tub of A2 cards at the Goodwill creates mixed emotions.  Yes,
its a good find, but look at the condition that they're being stored in!  You
don't want to recreate that mess when you take them home.  After giving up a
drawer in the dresser at home, I've finally come across a better solution for
most of the cards.

  Medium (a mouse or SuperSerial ) sized cards or smaller fit in and are
protected by empty orange juice containers.  Just wash them out, let dry, and
then cut lengthwise along two of the edges.  Leave about a quarter-inch at each
end for some extra support, then connect the cuts with another cut
perpendicular to the first two. 
When you're done, it will look like you've cut a large "H" on one side of the
milk carton.  These two flaps can cover the cards afterwards, protecting
them from dust.

  The card-ladden orange juice cartons can be stacked or cross-stacked 
inside any storage box.

  BTW, The same cuts make the carton the perfect sized holder for 3.5" disks!
I use them in the classroom with the flaps folded inside to keeps the disks 
upright.
