Jerome Fine replies:

While 25k would be far too many, I often use them to transfer small files
from a PDP-11 running RT-11 to a PC running RT-11. Normally, I have
to re-cycle them although I would prefer to keep a copy as a backup.
I likely use about 100 a year, so 1k would last me forever. But even a
couple of hundred would be a BIG help.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
