It's the first word of a longer sentence, sic transit gloria mundi. An English version could be "Thus passes the glory of mankind". Or maybe something along the lines of "So much for this guy's credibility, he can't even spell his way out of a paper bag".

It is still a (1-bit) ADC, even if it is mechanical.
Anyway, ADCs are everywhere, if you stop and think for a minute you can come up with a lot of examples of ordinary things like your doorbell, your electrical guitar...
I actually liked the keyboard alot better than the joystick, since it was easier to switch the 'lift' factor to 1 when you went to refuel.
Somebody ought to port that old game to a modern computer. Just like hunt the wumpus should be. (I actually did make a linux svga version with the original wumpus graphics laboriously copied from the screen, but it's not too portable, I'm afraid)

worked fine for me: reboot. What does F7 do anyway?
Except that you can still cause a buffer to overrun, if you sent the right (wrong?) Read-request.
