Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is there a free or open-source version of CP/M? I've always wanted to try it - maybe I'll install it on a virtual machine on my MacBook.

eta: Ooh - I just decided that someone needs to create a virtual punchcard reader/writer. Just because....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I downloaded Democracy a few weeks back, but I haven't had time to play with it yet.

Dude, I'd make a Frankenbox merit badge for this if you didn't already own the category.

That made me grin.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So, what should I do with the three old kaypro machines in my mom's garage?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Set 'em up as Linux dual boots. That'll earn you a merit badge for sure.

Okay, despite downloading and installing EasyUbuntu, Totem is still not liking any of the video and audio mp3s I try to play through the Internet.

Now, the download page for EasyUbuntu told me to run two commands from the terminal, which I just copied and pasted, but I wonder if I'm still doing something wrong, or if there's things I need to do with Firefox.

You might just want to use the link I gave you a few posts back. I didn't use Easy Ubuntu, but I used that guide and things work well for me.

Yeah, I figured that would probably be the next step.
