An older programmer gave it to me; it was originally from IBM, I believe. I haven&amp;#x27;t used it since the early 90&amp;#x27;s.&lt;p&gt;I was especially charmed by the phrase &amp;quot;pajama paper&amp;quot; to describe the old printer paper with the alternating 3-line high bars of color; I&amp;#x27;ve never heard it called that before, but I plan to call it that from now on.  On the, um, rare occasions the topic arises.</text></comment>
