XKCD Recreates Real Life once Again

OMG I have so had this conversation more than a few times with other geeks... normally it goes something like this:

• [Random reference to some technology, such as a programming IDE]


• Yea, well back in my day we didn't have no steeking IDE, we used EMACS and were happy with it!


• Oh yea, well back in my day we had VIM


• Vim!? Luxury! We had VI and we loved it!


• VI? Why back in my day we had ed!


• Ed? Luxury! I used to use 'cat' and we were happy.
  [This is where my real life deviates from the comic]
  


• Cat?! My god man you lived such a pampered life, I used to write the binary code directly to disk with 'echo'.


• Echo! We used to use binary


• BINARY! You had both one's and zeros? Luxury! We only had zeros and we liked it!


• You had zeros! We used to have to use the magnetic pull of the moon to manipulate bits on the hard drive.


• You had a hard drive!?!?!


• [... and so on....]

Oh, and just for my coworker Len..... "PICO!" (in reference to 'nano' in the comic).
