I love yerba mate! I have a cup or two of it a day. I've also recently been enjoying tea made with tulsi. It has a nice flavor and a mild boost.

I started with them a couple times, and will try again. The first time, after several years of working with Python, I missed the dynamic data structures like lists and dictionaries. Open arrays work pretty well, but Pascal still requires a

Very nice! Even the play button has a groovy effect if you hover over it! I used to spend an inordinate amount of time watching the 3D Pipes screensaver, wishing there was a mode that would travel along the pipes after they are drawn. This

The thing I miss the most is high-quality full-duplex audio over copper cables! No lag, no cutting each other off, just warm analog signal! I also miss wiring up phone lines in the basements of friends' houses!
