I have a comment in one my of my earlier programs that goes something like...

/* I'll be dead by then...so who cares? */

As you can see...that was before the use of double-slash comments.

That had to do with the turn of the century. The program was written in late 80's. Or was it early 90's?
Crap...there's that memory problem again.

I'm a bit more professional now. Woe be to the programmer if I see anything like that during reviews.  ;D

The Berkly UNIX serial port driver had "Beware, crufty dragons live here" at the top comment block... Was a good description of the code.

I make good parts and bad parts. Very binary.

Not quite true...

I make good parts, decent parts, and bad parts. So I'm a floating output.  :lolb:
I have no hysteresis. My folks didn't know about Schottky.   :lolb:

Have I lost some more of you? Well welcome to my world when reading about your fantastic models.

I believe if you typed 'Rape' into a COBOL computer the response was 'illegal entry'.

Still following along with the machining as well  :ThumbsUp: :wine1:

There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and those that don't :-)

I'm surprised.  I think you're absolutely hysterical.  Oh, wait...
