FYI, since some of the younger forum members might not recognize him, the old codger shown in the cowboy hat in the black and white insert was Gabby Hayes, an old sidekick to Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rogers.

Well, thats when Windows opens up what we proffessionals call a "Security Hole" in the side of the tube to let the clogged articles fall out.

When I first wanted to program a computer, and they had only just arrived in the UK, I thought that they had flashing lights like in Star Trek, and I thought that to program them you had to type in four colour codes like the game Mastermind. This guy is way back in 1979.

Stop complaining! Do something about it! Vote him out! Write to your local ministers! The only way you'll ever get a half decent government is to fight the power .... fight the power ... fight the power ... fight the powers that be.

@Saikoro: Colbert was originally on the Daily Show, they're supposed to be very similar. People recognized Colbert was so funny he got his own show, thats why they air back to back.
