"FrameMaker has detected a problem and must quit" Really?!

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Yes, well, some of us remember using a punch card and a knitting needle. 
You stabbed the card bundle somewhere along the edge with the knitting 
needle, shook the deck, and the ones that fell out were the ones you 
wanted. More sophisticated systems used two knitting needles, which was 
the upper limit unless you wanted to involve other members of staff.
