I could show this article to my wife and truthfully say "we would not have met and had offspring if it weren't for this computer programming language you've never heard of".

Double-whoosh
"It's" is a contraction of "it is".
Only a fool would have installed Windows ME.
I did. About 1000 times. Re-installs.
Or when the military decided they needed their own language: Ada. How did that work out?
