#50411 — umorismo anni '80

Un paio di estratti:

«The first computers, built in the 1940's were huge, primitive machines
made from vacuum tubes and animal bones daubed with mud.
Nevertheless, they were a tremendous technological achievement,
because they could do thousands of calculations in a second. The only
drawback was that they got almost all of the answers wrong, so the
only major customer for them was the government.»

«Nevertheless, common persons, desperate to use their personal
computers for *something*, have been buying spreadsheet programs by
the tens of thousands. God knows what they do with them. I have a
friend, Sheldon, formerly quite bright, who uses his spreadsheet
program to invent imaginary baseball teams and compute their imaginary
batting averages.» (fantacalcio, anyone? :D)

Il nome "Sheldon" e il comportamento descritto mi sembrano riferimenti a 
The Big Bang Theory, telefilm creato MOLTO tempo dopo gli anni '80.
