   Luxury....I first ran a programme (see how that should be spelt?) back   
   in 1872 on Charles Babbage's computer, which was so unreliable that it   
   fell over every other computation (or every other day) if it never got   
   oiled! It was a remarkable bit of code..   
      
   10 print "hello"   
   20 goto 10   
      
   And if you told the kids today, they wouldn't believe you!

      Oh people, know that you have committed great sins.   
       If you ask me what proof I have for these words,   
       I say it is because I am the punishment of God.   
            If you had not committed great sins,   
     God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
