Bus error -- please leave by the rear door.

But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the
system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed,
analyzed, and replaced with new weaknesses.

But this has taken us far afield from interface, which is not a bad
place to be, since I particularly want to move ahead to the kludge.
Why do people have so much trouble understanding the kludge?  What
is a kludge, after all, but not enough K's, not enough ROM's, not
enough RAM's, poor quality interface and too few bytes to go around?
Have I explained yet about the bytes?

"But what we need to know is, do people want nasally-insertable computers?"

By long-standing tradition, I take this opportunity to savage other
designers in the thin disguise of good, clean fun.

BYTE editors are people who separate the wheat from the chaff, and then
carefully print the chaff.

Byte your tongue.

C Code.
C Code Run.
Run, Code, RUN!
        PLEASE!!!!

C for yourself.

C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot.  C++ makes that
harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.
