Just commenting to point out the use of "legless" to mean extremely drunk. I found this in an online dictionary, but it's new to me. Maybe it's a regional thing.

I did use GEOS on a real C64 back in the day, and what I remember was that every click of the joystick button led to a disk seek to find the graphics for the next screen. If you knew the commands to display a directory, etc, GEOS made thin

This called to mind the ScanCard, a proprietary roughly 3x3 inch card system with colored borders meant for people with lots of irons in the fire. Amazingly, they're still in business: http://www.scancardorganizer.com/

Why don't they put an on-off switch on the fob? Better yet, when the vehicle locks, send a turn-off signal to the fob. Then you'll have to press a power button to reactivate it.

Shouldn't Figure 7 represent a first derivative of the GDP? In which case, no refit is necessary, but trends are still only clearly apparent in hindsight.
