The reason bureaucrats hate space programs is because it's the one guaranteed area where you can dump as many billions as you want and you will get no measurable progress. Sounds just like the NHS?
Actually, as I posted previously, I made a math error and shifted the decimal place to the left. You'd need to make 200 reps to get the 37,000 ft-lbs of energy required for high efficiency blue LEDs to give you 4 hours of ~700 lumens. Sorry, I didn't realise you'd made an error, I just took your values as correct.
I think I'll stick with The Daily Show, and maybe try BBC World News America. Those can't be any worse than the CNN or Fox jackasses. Sorry to disappoint you, but the BBC is completely controlled by marxists. If you're looking for unbiased coverage, you'll have to try elsewhere.
To get ~700 lumen light at 200 lumen/watt would require 3.5 watts of power, over 4 hours is 14 watt-hours or 3700 ft-lbs. Over 4ft of fall that amounts to 925 lbs. My goodness, that is a group effort. Not really. It is roughly 20 reps on the lat pulldown machine with 100 lbs on the stack. Easily done by someone with moderate fitness. I usually do more than that for my warm-up.
Windows 95 most specifically would bluescreen out of nowhere... just sitting there, doing nothing. And every so many bluescreens, something in the system directory would get corrupted, and you would have to reinstall.. You may have just been unlucky with your hardware. I ran W95 for around five years, on several different PCs, and I never had this experience.
Think about it. In 1800, everything was human or animal powered, except for a windmill or waterwheel here and there, and a few wood-burning Newcomen steam engines pumping away. Wrong by about a century. The Newcomen engine was invtented in 1713, and by 1800 was well and truly established. It also ran on coal not wood. James Watts, who made massive improvements to the steam engine, actually retired in 1800.
Don't worry. The best selling digital multimeters in many labs are from a company called "Fluke" Thats nothing. Our company used to buy its DVMs from Wayne Kerr
The 99% of us who don't have much legacy shit don't want you Luddites ruining progress for the rest of us. Getting rid of a simple and reliable way of interfacing to the computer is not progress, in my view.

I'm pleading for you to use pleaded rather than pled.
The next version will be better. It's going to be called Insolent Ibis.
And when I'm president, I'll work to protect children from Hilary Clinton.
Q. What's this ? "Pieces of Seven! Pieces of Seven!"
A. A parity error.
For hardware hackers, the parallel port remains the easiest way to interface to the pc, so I'm in no hurry to see it go.
