You do admit that you don’t want the computer to be doing everything do you?

The only thing I will admit is that I am not a luddite. Some folks earned a living in front of a 360 main frame console and the picture may bring back some good memories. Does for me.

Ah, good old IBM garnet rose which I always thought was kinda pink but regardless ever shop I ever worked in that had one in that flavor was nicknamed "big red".

Followed by "big blue" and, IIRC, "old yellow". We didn't have a lot of imagination, it hadn't been invented yet.
