I still have a chance to win, if I can just find my dissertation, which I
preserved on a 9-track tape:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-track_tape
Produced on a CDC Cyber 170/750, with 60-bit words and 12-bit bytes; only
upper case letters, so lower case letters were encoded with an \E\S\C\A\P\E
\C\H\A\R\A\C\H\T\E\R.
