And a whole generation of embedded-systems engineers snort-laughs coffee all over their keyboard and monitor.

Try systems with 2K of PROM and 128 *bytes* of memory...

my first bit of writing (that I still have, at least) was output to a DMP-130(ish, IIRC) dot matrix printer from my #TRS80 #ColorComputer – and it was a love poem from a computer to its sysop… 💁‍♀️ 😬🫠

Ah... at least that's below freezing. I can understand Georgia not being too used to that.

I'm still waiting for someone from #NWT or #Greenland to "Four Yorkshiremen" me...

@Sustainable2050 Yes I remember running my fingers over the beautiful ice patterns on the inside of our windows. No heating upstairs. A paraffin stove in the ‘back room’ where Mam cooked, we ate, watched the television etc. A flame effect electric fire in the front room which was reserved for when we had visitors. Eventually we had the luxury of a couple of small night storage heaters. Now I’m waiting for someone to say ‘You were lucky!’ #MontyPython #FourYorkshireMen

@nixCraft Free coffee? Best we could manage was to suck on a piece o'damp cloth. #FourYorkshiremen

@Kye Grub! We used to dream o' havin' a Grub! All we had was LILO!

I have such fond memories of rolling this out as an improv bit in public with my mates Marty & Thomas. Invariably, the game would end when someone took it back to “primordial ooze,” after four or five rounds. https://youtu.be/DT1mGoLDRbc #MontyPython #GrahamChapman #JohnCleese #MartyFeldman #TimBrookeTaylor #FourYorkshiremen
