We'd 'ave give our right arms for a few zeroes when I were a lad. We used to
have to get up three hours before we went to bed, lick 't information
superhighway clean wi' us bare tongues, and that were just so we could have
nothing at all. I used to borrow zeroes from next door for mi' mother's
birthday, and spend an hour cleaning 'em up before I took 'em back. And yer
tell these young programmers wi' their GUIs and their IDEs and they just
don't believe yer.
