Bob's PunchedCards updated on SqueakMap

David T. Lewis
I found that it is still possible to use the SqueakMap web interface to
update the claimed version compatibility for a package on SqueakMap, so
I updated PunchedCards to make it available on Squeak 4.4.

Bob Arning has been active on the list recently, so I want to thank him
once again for contributing this essential element of computing infrastructure.
I had completely forgotten, but a google search reminded me that I may
have been somewhat responsible for provoking Bob into doing this in the
first place:

Bob graciously accepted the challenge:

And with Alan Kay's further encouragement, the project's success was assured:

Fun stuff ;-)

OMG Dave, that was a fun note!  Punched cards were before my time but
I've seen them.  That PunchedCard morph with the holes in it looks
REAL when I drag it across the desktop.

Thanks for sharing..!   :)
