On the other hand, I don’t miss installing and re-installing drivers off a floppy, then futzing around a SCSI port, rebooting half dozen times with a prayer just to install a Jaz drive. (Properly functioning) USB and plug-and-play have been a fucking godsend.

I work three blocks from there and have never had the inclination to visit because it would just bum me out. :(

I never played competitive soccer. What made your training worse than that for outfield players?

And people who call NFL owners “Mr” as though they’re the geometry teacher. Fuck all of them obsequious dipshits.
