But then again, considering that the average piece of software takes 5 minutes to load on one of those Commodores... well... maybe I can leave my house now and get there before the show is over...
(As a side thought)
Time required to load GEOS on a C64 - 5 minutes
Time required to load DOS + Windows 3.1 on a 486 - 5 minutes
Time requiree to load WinXP on a P3 - 3 minutes
Time required to load Red Hat on a P3 workstation - 5 minutes...

Let me explain. In the UK some bank ATM (cash points) are inside the bank building and the only way to get in (out of hours) is by swiping your ATM card to make the door open (the rest of the bank is shuttered off). I assume this is to stop tramps using it as a place to sleep. However I discovered that a supermarket loyalty card also lets you in. So if you really hate supermarket loyalty cards, you can now put them to good use and give a tramp a warm place to sleep.
