A hardcopy doesn't have a "display cable" attached to it that goes bad :)

I'm still using my $12 thingy (with no problems whatsoever too) because 
the matter of my main computer isn't resolved yet. Still too soon to 
take the now "late Relf"'s advice.

If the power grid collapses (which may - depends on what a lunatic Trump 
is, and whether cro-magnons' time has come), and as you said, together 
with it, the food supply and security collapses, I bet those huge sized 
pots you always see in Mexican grocery stores become a hot item :)

Hispanics would need to cut a cro-magnon only in three pieces max to 
throw a piece in them and boil them to a perfection in soup. Beating 
even French cuisines. And curiously, you only see those pots in Mexican 
stores :)

Many of my neighbors are Hispanic, and almost all of them have one of 
those large pots sometimes appearing in their yard. They throw a whole 
goat or sheep inside after removing skins and innards, and boil them. 
Then the whole family and friends feast on them. They have to cook them 
outside. Too big for kitchens' facilities.

Blacks, on the other hand, would not need to even cook them. If you ask 
me, they'll devour cro-magnons raw, still warm.

Just south of Mexican border here, every single year, some cro-magnons 
disappear, then a week or two later only their heads are found. Never 
the rest of the body. The heads, often, have chicken legs hammered into 
their ear canals with the paws sticking out on both sides.

Every year!

This world has some rules to it, want it or not. Cro-magnons have broken 
every one of them.
