That sort of reminds me on a Morris worm incident (no, I am not that old, I
just read some reports afterwards) where some popular magazine was given
printouts of same incident tracing, but it was printed on a laser paper so
the magazine made their graphics designers bore the holes in the paper to
look more akin to traditional computer print paper that was still used at
that time ...
