"Kids today, with their so-called 'reduced instruction set' CPUs that are so bloated and decadent that they have built-in *MULTIPLY* instructions... fer crissakes, you should all have to bit-shift and add, then hand assemble it, then poke it into memory one byte at a time, like I did, in the snow, uphill, BOTH WAYS!" -- Doug DeJulio (from a mailing list conversation about retrocomputing)

I love Doug, he's really that funny in person...he works at the same University that I do and he's the office mate of a close friend of mine.
