I vote for greasy burgers and Pepsi I seem to remember writing lots of code and punching lots of cards late at night or early in the morning fueled by a couple of 2 liter bottle of Pepsi and many Jack-in-the-Box burgers. The only problem was when I finally went to bed I was unable to sleep and ran/walked through my code several more times. My father, the doctor, finally diagnosed the problem as way too much sugar and caffeine. I have heard that 1 or 2 dozen White Castle burgers is another substitute. Now 20 years later I've given up the Pepsi to prevent the ulcer. Mike Old Code Dog
