Of Wired’s 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About, eight things on the list elude me.
- Using jumpers to set IRQs
- Tweaking the volume setting on your tape deck to get a computer game to load, and waiting ages for it to actually do it
- Daisy chaining your SCSI devices and making sure they’ve all got a different ID
- Archie searches
- Concatenating and UUDecoding binaries from Usenet
- Starbuck being a man
- A Marathon bar
- Omni magazine
