--- Quote from: squirrel meal article ---A large squirrel would be enough for one-and-a-half people.

What is a half person? A zombie (undead)? Or did they mean peolpe like in tribe? How large is a large squirrel?
Binary:
A half-person is what's left after an encounter with the evil attack squirrel of death (see above).

Since we're going all geeky today I might as well feed the radioactive mutant squirrels, in order.
The only squirrel related computer bit I can think of was the Squirrel SCSi add-on for the Amiga 1200.
Vaxen may have been huge, but depending on the model they ranged from workstations through minicomputers to mainframes. I was always more partial to HP for older gear or Sun workstations once they hit the SparcStation era.
That brings me to the worry that I must have calibrated my monitor in a drunken moment, because the color of Marigold's pants is way to bright & red to be a Sun. The only thing close to that color is the dot on the faceplate of my Sun Ultra 2.
The hardware person in me did enjoy that Jeph actually drew something I recognized as a computer before the caffeine hit, but the CPU hasn't been installed yet! Given the size of some heatsinks these days I never feel comfortable doing that unless the motherboard is solidly on a flat surface.

The pizza-box that sounds like a jet-plane!

Aww, bright and red? To me they are exactly the color of my sun blade 2000 (gotten through ebay at liq, price and used as a local server)
