Instead of using MLA, it might have been better to base the amount of text able to fit on the page off of 80-column punch cards or GNU Enscript [1]. I think you would probably get a vastly different number, as that seems more information dense. Also, does the weight of the ink matter at all?

- codetrotter 3y agoI like the punch cards idea. If we take the un-punched card as baseline then we could say that all of the bytes 0x00 to 0xFF have negative weight except one. Presumably the 0x00 would be zero weight byte, as it damn well should! ;), and all of the other bytes would have various amounts of negative weights. Now I want a punch card computer.
