   It looks like the addressing/decoding section of the 6502 processor, if you ask me…

   And even if you don’t ask me, it still looks like the addressing/decoding section of the 6502 processor.

   Did he get food poisoning?

   (I’m not saying I don’t like it – looks kind of like an integrated circuit.)

   This is just for you, Joel… mebbe you could tell us what happened to brownlee? Not nasty internal politics, but is he ok and what he’s up to now, if anything?

   People should stop eating Orange Roughy, they take like 20 years to reach breeding age, and are being driven extinct by fishing.
