It's a shame, I don't want to fight anymore with you... you lived the golden age... What about a beer?
A beer sounds great!

I thought we were just having a bit of fun!

I think many people should lighten up here anyway.

VESA cards were great. Some cards were more standard than others though!

Ah the "golden age" when programmers were more intimate with the hardware than their own wives!

When abstration meant giving meaningful names to your memory locations.
