  You're not gonna impress anyone on this list
with that candy-pants
 quiche-eating system.  You can start to get our attention by get a
 computer that weighs more than you.  Or barring that, we'll respect

 or an integer divide, or even an integer multiply. 
Hear Hear.  Though, I may listen when Athlons have casters and a 
respectable console firmware with "deposit" and "examine" commands, at

least.  Bonus points if you can't get them to run windows should your life 
depend on it.
