--> I remember seeing/reading an advert in an Apple II mag of some
    sort that was an `all-in-one' type of card that they touted as
    being the next best thing to ultimate nirvana (to an Apple II
    computer user, that is). It sounded quite exotic and seemed to
    do so many things that one's life would be incomplete without
    it. I was impressed by the idea - but with no moolah; simply
    forgot about it. I seem to recall it being called something to
    do with "Smartcard" or "Businesscard" or something similar;
    but it's been so long, I can't remember...
