It has a sort of Swiftian feel to it, I admit.  Rational folks just 
can't comprehend irrationality.  Irrational folks almost always try to 
rationalize irrationality; I'm thinking, for instance, of the slavics 
madmen known as the fools for christ who acted foolish, and the local 
population revered them.  Things like walking around Moscow winters in 
one's shift, etc.

I don't blame you.  I have an old 386 and an old 486, either one of 
which I could toss OS/2 on and bring the old Maximus board back to 
life, I suppose.  If it wasn't for this dratted laziness . . . ;)
