I should have patented this idea before suggesting it here last week :-)...
But I have kept one detail to myself (not worth patenting, I think :-) - not
only to leave a border, but to leave 2 of them, so you can punch 2 holes on
both upper and lower border.  This will prevent it from annoying dangling
but will allow flipping over.  I also think 8*11" is the maximum size
(considering that you have 2-side chart).  Larger sheets will be
inconvenient on the deck.
Alex.
