@DrJRN There was a time I was excited to get a 3.5 inch factor 20 GB drive (and had a PC tower with 8 drives packed into it)!

Been waging the good fight in the other place for a while. However, did also just complete year-plus refresh of LATVIANS.COM including new reference content.
Enjoy!

Re computer science majors starting it, I didn't curse let alone use the F-bomb until I started working with computers in college. They are not the best proxy for humanity! πŸ™€

@rogue_corq Thanks for that!
