Anyone remember Skeleton Keys? Back around 1979 or so, we used it to copy all the Apple ][ floppies we were selling AT AN AUTHORIZED APPLE RETAILER so we could have a backup. Customers could easily wipe the media they went home with, and they expected us to replace it. G #600 (boots a floppy? something? well, you see...)
This was innadaze of badly mimeographed manuals and a couple disks in a ziploc bag. BTW, that was the first ziploc bag usage I recall. Sue Glad, eh?
I still have an s.keyed "Wizard and the Princess" floppy here somewhere. How the HELL do you get past the snake???
Minor point - Enterprise cannot be made spaceworthy, it was destructively tested. There's lots of overstressed parts. It's much heavier than the other vehicles, too. Notice they have an OV (orbiting vehicle) designation, and Enterprise doen't.
Learn how to use it, and decide first that you WILL use it. Get a license if you need one in your area.
Don't shoot your gear after it's been swiped, though. I have a calculator case with a bullet hole in it. Amazingly, the calculator (TI SR-51 II) deflected the bullet, and still works.
Throw it all out. You aren't going to use those 256MB hard drives, or the 1MB SIMMs, or that ISA SCSI card that only works with the HP SCSI scanner that only works with that card.
Now I have only to take my own advice. Anyone need a hundred ISA cards? v.32bis modems, AUI NICs, coax repeaters? How about power cords? I have about 50. Phone cords? 10 year old LaserJets with some toner? No?
Except for a few volumes on geometry, the library likely contained masses of CRAP about gods, goddesses, thaumaturgy, alchemy, inaccurate histories, &c.
Sure, it would be fun and possibly enlightening to read that stuff, but it wouldn't help you cure leprosy. The ancients were IGNORANT, and you should only prize info that has been confirmed by science (something they did not have).
Well, Mr, AC Troll, if you'll send me a self-adressed, stamped envelope and a blank VHS tape, I'll send you a copy of Marcus performing that bit on Channel 4.
Or, you can hunt one down yourself. But that would take you out from under the bridge, wouldn't it?
Once again you have said 'self-serving remark', when it is actually 'truth'.
Here, try this: ask Kristian if s/he said it. Then, watch the Channel 4 appearance of Marcus where he used this joke, which was years before it appeared on the Net.
Then, go ask a comedian whether they knew anyone who ever stole a joke. If they do, ask what happened.

You are right, it would be pointless.
