My friend brought a raspberry pi to work.
He asked if anyone wanted a byte and I a little bit.
Others who had a bit had a remarkably binary opinion of it, by which I mean there was a clear partition.
However those who disliked it kept quiet, they didnt want to get his backup.
Afterwards there was a hard drive to get on with work. Nobody wanted to risk the boot.

I found the following on SO:
The fantastic element that explains the appeal of games to many
developers is neither the fire-breathing monsters nor the milky-skinned,
semi-clad sirens; it is the experience of carrying out a task from

… and this one…
I called the janitor the other day to see what he could do about my dingy
linoleum floor. He said he would have been happy to loan me a polisher, but
that he hadn’t the slightest idea what he had done with it. I told him not to
worry about it - that as a programmer it wasn’t the first time I had
experienced a buffer allocation failure due to a memory error.

I saw the movie but never read the book
Never read the book but I’ve seen both the movie and the BBC Radio Theatre versions. The movie was (IMHO) so-so. I liked Mos Def and Martin Freeman. But the BBC production (I think from the 80’s - Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, and even David Prowse as a bodyguard) is my favourite.

This Always make me feel happy and bring Smile on the face
I’m not sure this counts, as it’s a true story (and at the time I couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry).
I had been helping an elderly neighbour in our remote village with a computer problem. After I’d sorted it out, I explained to her that she really ought to get antivirus software installed, and offered to help. “Oh no”, she replied, quite cheerfully. “It’s alright. My brother-in-law says I won’t need that away out here…”

That physically pains me. As you were, I was torn with my emotions.

Arnold Schwarzenegger apparently refuses to upgrade to the latest version of Windows. When asked why, he replied—“I still love Vista, baby!”
