💻 Computers can actually be grown from cuttings. Take a key from any laptop keyboard (home row keys work best) and place it in a mix of sand and iron filings, and water it regularly

👋😄 Amused.. And yes 1990's was the real lockndown, however I presume the 12/60 ratio system was in use at the early 80's when digital was only still becoming "public household" and not only Private Lab Minds Tinkering. 12/60 as opposed to the earth/solar systems true Ratio of 13/20 which is a natural Bio'rhythm, unlike 12/60 which is not!
@leila My Rabbi, who was involved in the original Mac tech boom in CA, would absolutely get a KICK out of that QBASIC joke, I may tell it to him if I get a good set up for it XD
