That's the other thing. A "commercial" punch for 3.5" disks typically runs
about $20 (US). Presumably one *could* use a drill-press. 8^)
While browsing around the local computer discount store, I saw one of those
punches, which is what prompted my original question. From responses here,
as well as mail received, nobody thinks it's a good idea.
