I sure wish they would bring back 8-tracks.

I think they have been Do Not Folded, Stapled, Spindled, or Mutilated

Dang right. It's gettin' so these whippersnappers don't even know which toggle switches boot the mainframe anymore. My punk nephew calls me, sez, "Unca Bill, what utility do you use to create a bootable thumb with Mint on it?" and I gave him a mental backhand across the chops and I sez, "15-14-12-9-6-1 brings the HP up from the first hard drive, kid!" and I hear a strained silence on the end of the line like I'm stupid or something. Kid's driving one o' them horseless carriages around, too. No hope fer this young generation, nossireebub. No hope.
