I think there were a couple of different sizes of tape.  Some earlier tape was 6
holes wide, the tape I worked with was a newer 7 holes wide.  I still have a box
of paper cards in my garage.  They make good bookmarks.

You're barely out of diapers yet,  my birthday was a couple of weeks ago and
your still several years short of half my age.
