They did it already. See Astronaut Barbie, or Working Girl Barbie (comes with a toy laptop and says "Saving money is fun!"), President Barbie, and Talk With Me Barbie, which hooks up an IR transmitter to a serial port on my, uh, the girl's PC and transmits to the doll, making it say all sorts of things.
I'm still waitng for Hacker Barbie. I bet she could kick Harley-Davidson Ken's ass.

If you got a free trial, and it expires (AND STARTS ENDLESSLY BITCHING AT YOU), you can set your system clock back to before the expiration, run Live Update, ignore the error messages, and everything will get updated anyway.
I see you don't have kids yet, but a lot of universities offer free tuition for their employee's children. So, twenty years from now, 2 kids, half a million worth of free tuition?
I congratulate you on your honesty and thorough research. You are a real scientist. Those mods who gave the original post points, though, need to mod your older and newer posts properly now.
Dude. Did you even look at what monster.com? Here's one: 55-70k with only an A.S. and 2-5 years experience? There's a bunch on there at 90k.
AS/400 Programmer/Analyst
Company: Sedona Technologies Location: Davenport, IA 52807 Salary/Wage: 55,000.00 - 70,000.00 USD/year Status: Full Time, Employee Job Category: Computers, Software Relevant Work Experience: 2+ to 5 Years Career Level: Experienced (Non-Manager) Education Level: Associate Degree
Actually, commands on an AS/400 look like CRTUSRPRF, DLTPF, and so forth. If you can't figure out that's CreaTe USer PRoFile and DeLeTe Physical File, you need to study for maybe about 10 minutes.
Need to do an action? GO VERB. Need to do it to some thing? GO SUBJECT. There is no system simpler to figure out than OS/400.
You turn can use the lower part of the f000 because it's POST instructions and the BIOS setup stuff. Some BIOSes (MR bios iirc) tell you on POST what you can use. Again, iirc, f000-fb00 was available.
There are no video ROMS at b000, that is the monochrome display area. Don't write to the screen and you can use it as a UMB.
I forgot to mention you can only get 992k free on a 286 or greater machine, they can actually address 1088k directly.
I set up a DOS machine with 992k of free DOS memory. The trick is to redirect command.com to com1 and don't use any programs that use graphics. Also, use DR-DOS, it's smaller than MS-DOS.
George W. Bush, Hitler, and Jesus walk into a bar. Jesus says, "What shalt thou have?". Bush says, "I don't drink alcohol anymore. Diet Coke for me.", Hitler says, "I never drank alcohol, orange juice for me.", and Jesus says, "No, I don't think they are.".
He does fit the profile perfectly. He's intelligent, but an under-achiever; alienated from his parents; has few friends. Classic case for recruitment by the Soviets.

Erm, doesn't sound crooked at all, actually, does it?
First, let me say, Google is your friend. But since I'm really nice, I'll ask Ray Tomlinson:

Pretty lame for a 'security' company.
No, he should differentiate himself more; put out the right sines, get a tan, that sort of thng.

I think it's funny, even though it happened to you.

Wasn't it about performing cunnilingus while kneeling on a hardwood floor?

If memory still cost $100/MB, you would.
There are still commercial products using DR-DOS, fwiw.

Wilt, not shalt. Hey, maybe Jesus didn't understand the RFC.
