That's a great idea.  Bringing in Politically Correct firepower is an
excellent way to get things moving.

Then we can will all have to go back to ASCII art pr0n. :-)

(In 1988, as a term project, a classmate and I designed a single-board
computer based on the 8088 processor, assembled it with a wire-wrap
tool (!) and wrote an assembly-language command-processor for it.
There was a secret command that brought up nude ASCII art.  The
machine was later "mass produced" (ie, twelve boards were made) for
use in our university's teaching lab.  Someone went through the source
code, because our secret command was expunged from the production
versions.)

Regards,

David.
