Back to BASIC for the Beagle Boys...
I am now typing this on my ZX81.
Meanwhile back at the hideout Megabyte Beagle looks up from his orange iMac screen:

Admit One - just the ticket...
...Back in the day (the '70s) we had Gay Liberation
badges at Resistance Bookshop (Chch) saying
"How dare you assume I'm Heterosexual!"
or words to that effect...The Press letters column continues to be polarised on the Middleton Grunge sacking event...

topsy turvy... bunnies with scurvy!
Most forms of commerce are pyramid schemes of one sort or another. It's not the form, but human nature..
and
...it relies on endless growth in a finite environment. This is impossible, but society in general is happy to live in a state of self-deception about it, or at least tacitly says to itself, "Well, let's just ride this out as long as we can then"....
what they said... this delusion continues as long as economists and planners think the planet and its resources are a subset of the economy/money rather than the other way round...
I've also never had quite such an experience of feeling I have to justify a purchase with my own money. Oh well.
Hopefully you'll at least be able to claim some of
the cost as a business expense and offset the GST (if yer registered for that)... -

I'm still struggling to see the connection between large profit margins and exploiting labor.
I have trouble with the disconnect from reality
- take Tony Hayward being shifted sideways at BP and getting a pension of approx one million plus per year and other similar banking types
- what do these people do that could possibly be worth this amount of dosh in perpetuity
- is it their silence that is being bought?
But those kind of costs have to affect the bottom line somehow, how can it be sustainable? -

Using an iPad to replace the tape cassette drive for an Apple iie.
Damn your eyes! Now I want an old Apple IIe
and an iPad.Russell, that was just, ...mean...
It’s an obvious solution in retrospect, but there is something very unreal and amazing about tapping a button on a multi-touch screen and watching an Apple IIe fill up with data — to quote Andy Baio, “that’s like WALL-E connecting to EVE.”
though I'm guessing it wouldn't take long to fill up an IIe with data
