...But this is cool stuff. Look at the minidress the 'punchcard operator' is wearing. Holy Uhura Batman! Now that deserves an ESRB rating of 18+. As someone who hit 12 years old with 8 bit computers and remembers his parent bringing home one of the new WANG "laptops" (really, not bigger than todays laptops!) with like a 4 line LCD screen and built in 1200 baud acoustic coupler (1200 baud!!!! circa 1983) This brings back happy memories of the 8" floppy. With the movie Wargames out, this was the golden time to be a geek. Now I wasn't one of the uber l33t Altair types but I can still remember going to the local big box retailer of the area (Lechmere's around these parts...more than just a T station!) and seeing people queing up to try out the consumer grade computers. It just doesn't work that way anymore and I for one am a tad bummed about this. Call it nostalgia, call it what you will, but the mystique is gone and likely won't be back.

1)The shorter the woman, the bigger the chip on her shoulder and the more she'll hate you if you're a generic white male. If said woman has a 'regular boys' haircut, her chip weighs 20,000 tons.
2)Unless you are an Eskimo black Jewish lesbian, your career path is limited (unless you're in a union, then you pretty much get free reign).
3)Don't work too hard because nobody else does!
4)Take EVERY sick day that you can, it's the way things are done.
5)Adopting orphans from another country to be cared for by you and your same-sex partner gets you BIG points.
6)No matter the cost of tuition, the billions given by alums nor the massive taxbreaks and handouts from the gubmint, THE UNIVERSITY IS BROKE!
Remember these things and you'll go far...perhaps even across the river!
