You had '0's?  Boy you sure were advanced!  We had to make our own '0's
(and they weren't cheap, neither)!  Never mind about the '1's.  Heck, we
didn't have the luxury of '1's!  We had to make due with '0's most of the
time!  Course, math was easier then: 0 + 0 = ... ummm, no, wait, don't
tell me... ummm... Oh ya! '0.0000000E+00'.  Yes sir, those were the good
ol' days!  Not like today, where people can turn shells into editors :)

Better yet, what are *you* doing in *my* house and why are you taking my
meds?!
