Well, such are my limitations, I don't give two short smegs about the Blit
or "The Labs", Johnny come latelelys that they are, promoting new editors
such as "ed". Instead of edt, the one true editor. But when I was a lad,

there was no dial - wait for the operator at the Sanderstead exchange and
ask the operator to connect us.
