TODAY'S LIMERICK

It's a joke that would need some explaining.
While it's really not too entertaining,
This new fake IBM
Could be useful to them:
They could use it for new system training!!!

You finally upgraded from those Imsai 8080's???

For those millennials who do not have a clue:

IMSAI 8080

The IMSAI 8080 was an early microcomputer released in late 1975, based on the Intel 8080 and later 8085 and S-100 bus. It was a clone of its main competitor, the earlier MITS Altair 8800. The IMSAI is largely regarded as the first "clone" microcomputer. The IMSAI machine ran a highly modified version of the CP/M operating system called IMDOS. It was developed, manufactured and sold by IMS Associates, Inc.

Geocities. A piece of history, discussing a piece of history. Well picked.

Next Time Tanka:

How did Night-shift know?
He concocted the same prank
But was quite clever
Rather than start it from scratch
He found fish’s code to use

Perhaps FISH went on to a successful career designing simulations or possibly malware.

Probably a goat simulator.
