On or about 05:23 PM 1/30/99 -0500, R. Stricklin (kjaeros) was caught in a dark alley speaking these words: I'm going to try to keep this on-topic (or at least close)... My parents had a '60's Victor, which cost big $$$, but was no longer used, so they kept it in the attic. Occasionally, they'd bring it down and let us kids play on it, but I was the only one who had any interest in it whatsoever. When I was 11 or 12, I broke the Victor in a non-violent way, but had no clue how until a few years later... See, this Victor had the ability to divide, and at the time I broke it, I had no idea that dividing by zero was a bad idea..... Damn, the racket that thing made (and still makes today if you plug it in) as it tries to keep dividing by zero whenever power is applied. Can't do it on computers now, either.
