Nerd humor

The following exchange was found by a friend of mine in a Powerbuilder news group. Some people were discussing what would likely replace Powerbuilder and, well...

Mention LISP again, and I'll run my CAR over your CDR.

I almost choked on my Diet Dr. Pepper. Don't worry if you don't understand the above exchange. All that means is that you probably had something resembling a life during college.

1 LISP????? Yep! CAR and CDR were novel enough ... but in the grand scheme of things it could be congruent to someone designing a light switch with a central feature of pull-and-twist to turn the light on. Sheesh! Fox Pro V6 DOS (remember character graphics?) would be a much more stellar choice!

2 FoxPro? I was thinking more along the lines of Assembler.

3 Okay ... I'll shift right ... I like your idea better ... though one shouldn't take too long to build up a decent macro library.
