Derailment void / Off topic 2021 to present

I was traumatised by SPSS during my uni years, already computer era. Can’t even imagine doing that with punch cards :grimacing:

You must be a god of some sort LOL :+1:t2::smile:

If you keep a shirt/top on, it’ll be fine, no flags required :smile::smile::smile:

I had a RadioShack TRS 80, with no monitor ( it hooked up to the TV) and a cassette tape drive for programs. Around the same time, I started university and my card punch studies.

When I was teaching computer applications, we used the library card catalog as our example for database programming! :sweat_smile: It is an excellent and simple example of how to set up a relational, normalized third form system. EF Codd was our hero.

I actually think the mythology around Unicorns is that they get sacrificed pretty often. Or, better said, they sacrifice themselves. Not sure what anyone wants to read into that, but food for thought.

I remember the tail end of DOS, circa late 90s.

I also remember Apple being a brand hanging on for dear life, only surviving by production studios., no one wanted a Mac, now they are taking over amazing what 20 some years will do

Many cultures that have produced a unicorn myth believed they possess powers to cure sickness and poisoning and even restore fertility (read: viagra :rofl:)
Unicorns were said to be almost impossible to catch without a lure (a virgin maiden). They were wanted and hunted by the rich, who would saw off their horn where the unicorn’s powers were believed to be.

When the myth was adopted into Christianity in the middle ages, unicorn hunt was depicted as an allegory of the Passion of the Christ, sacrificing himself for mankind.

Unicorns were a symbol of innocence, purity, grace, chaste love and faithful marriage.
:relaxed:

Disclaimer: I do not have a magical horn, please don’t come after me with virgins and saws :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile: However, when someone is angry or in a bad mood, we might say they have a bolete or a c#ck in their forehead, in my language. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :mushroom:
