      Are they? Are they really? I miss the days when you had to do stuff for yourself and when 99.99% of the population still thought computers were the Dark Arts.

                                    I was using this [^]...and then upgraded to this [^]...although it was Fortran 4, not Basic (as seen on the card). British Aerospace wasn't on the cutting edge of technology back then - but we still managed to get the Tornado to fly!

                                    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
