        Back in my day when you wanted a computer to do something, you just asked her to do it and then underpaid her because women can’t hold real jobs.

        Gates and inverters!!?

        Luxury!

        In my day we had to use transitors and resistors and, if we were lucky, maybe capacitors.

        Back in my day we had an abacus and if you wanted it to do something you had to do it your damn self. And that worked JUST FINE.
