For that machine, I wrote a "John Conway's game of LIFE" that used the screen memory to hold the life array. Nowadays I rock an i5 running Linux.

The test key has the expected answer, which may even be wrong. If the test taker responds with something else, even if it solves the problem, it is not the expected answer. It's stupid.

Teachers that don't accept an unexpected but true answer are not teaching. The test taker had a correct take, one of the pizzas could be bigger than the other. It was not specified in the question. I am so glad I am out of school

I had an idea sort of like that - media for your camera or cell-camera that was write once, could not be erased or changed, did not forget (you know ssd's and thumb drives forget as the stranded charge leaks away) - Each picture cryptographically signed with GPS and date and time and author/photographer.

"What do you want for dinners next week?" while planning the groceries list is not small talk. What shall we do this weekend. Its not "what is the meaning of life" but it is important still the same. What Kitty just did is also important because we both care about Kitty's well being. There is lots to talk about that is not deep philosophical stuff, but still important.

The Sears appliance departments usually had at least one with a clear front for demonstration purposes.. But you know what happened to them
