Re: Re: OT Home Highway, is it worth it?
Right then.
When _I_ were a lad,
we had get up three hours before we went to bed,
lick road clean wi' tongue,
pick ferrite chunks out of the grit,
form a rudimentary storage media from the chunks,
magnetise the bread knife and wave it over the media to programme the bits.
Work a twenty six hour day down at the code monkey bunker
Then Father would thrash us to sleep with bootstrap.
