[TUHS] Loud machines (was Compatibility Question)

[Douglas McIlroy]

> Paul -- you left out the other "feature" -- the noise, which was still
deafening even with a model N1 and its cover.

It was indeed loud, but GE out-roared them with a blindingly fast card
reader. The machine had a supposedly gentle touch; it grabbed cards with
vacuum rather than tongs. But the make-and-break pneumatic explosions
sounded like a machine gun. A noise meter I borrowed from the Labs' tool
crib read 90db 6 feet away.
