Of Wired’s 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About, eight things on the list elude me.

  1. Using jumpers to set IRQs
  2. Tweaking the volume setting on your tape deck to get a computer game to load, and waiting ages for it to actually do it
  3. Daisy chaining your SCSI devices and making sure they’ve all got a different ID
  4. Archie searches
  5. Concatenating and UUDecoding binaries from Usenet
  6. Starbuck being a man
  7. A Marathon bar
  8. Omni magazine
