Ahh, that rings a bell -- in those days weren't many collators external
mechanical collators -- you would print 10 to 20 copies of a page, and
each copy was routed to a separate stack. (Or was that only copiers?)
Anyway, it doesn't matter, I don't have a strong opinion on the matter,
I was just "waxing nostalgic" (or something)!
