@opvard Man invented shoes silly. Do Norwegians use "birthday suit" to refer to what we're born in (aka our skin)?
I don't believe one can be a true web educator without giving history (context); politics (our work is political); anecdotes (comic relief).

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice. I can modify on the shoes. I am confident however that history, politics and anecdotes are relevant.
Why is it always the negative few that bring me down when the happy majority is what I should be focusing on? I should know better.

ha! @azlee after watching IE rise from the dead, and HTML rise from the dead, and even myself rise from the nearly dead: Resurrections R Us!
@azlee bad winds in Tucson? You having asthma? My throat and sinuses are killing me but I think that's exhaustion, not Vegas (much wind)
@lmorchard I'd agree it was sad if they weren't building something very interesting upon a great legacy. Let's see what really happens.
@MakingMonsters It's good to work on your long-term memory skills too, ya know ;)
appears this Commodore news is not a joke. "Commodore USA is a new company that has licensed the Commodore name from Commodore Gaming . . ."

Here's a PCWorld article on the Commodore comeback: http://is.gd/aPDAK -there's a bunch of other respectable sources reporting this.

@dodegaard That's okay, we're all showing our ages talking about C64s and tape and 300 baud. :)
