I too remember when everything was run off 5.25 floppies and the like. I thought it was amazing when my father's laptop could store 3 whole green and black games, AND let me type!![/quote]

I remember how cool it was when I managed to hook up an old Apple LISA 10mb Hard Drive to my Apple ][e. I managed to break the filesystem limits for ProDos back then :shock:

I really love being a geek, I really do.

Nitrogen is the most common gas in the atmosphere, as well as being essential to nucleic and amino acids, which are instrumental for life as we know it so far; in other words, it's part of God's design of the universe.

It's also a common component to many explosives, including old black powder, guncotton, as well as modern powders.

Nitrogen is a tool, just like many other things in life. It is instrumental in bringing life, and can also be instrumental in taking it.

Besides, I'm a huge geek, and it's my favorite element :cool:
