Mmmm! I have been thinking that some of those 70's - 80's robot plans in EW etc could be built with modern componets and upgraded with micro-controllers etc... I want an R2 unit! 
Is there a link to the contents...

Try this one[^]
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Check it out, the book Plip-Plop-Pond is #56 in Amazon Best-sellers under the Computer Programming Category.
What are you devs reading out there?

An existing review, with minor edits:
I'm aware of the importance of introducing the concept of programming early on to get little ones prepared for coding one day and to teach them that static typing is enjoyable. For junior devs, that means getting them used to feeling types (sometimes tasting, it can be hard to get them not to do that and it's how they explore), holding them and encouraging them to look at the pictures of compiler errors.

Yes, everyone should be learning the newest programming language : plip-plop.

Nice find. It would have taken forever to find (read: guess) the key:value pair.

Isn't that morbid a bit that what makes your wonderful is falling back to Win 8 from Win 10... I'm sure Microsoft just as happy as you are
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

So, which bit takes me to Win7?

Going back from winio to anything is an improvement -- even win 3.11 or pencil & paper!

I submitted my Christmas wish list to SWMBO today.
It's a short, but expensive list. I wanna put a 671 blower on my car. Approximate cost - $8700.
An alternative (also submitted) is new underwear.
I wonder which one she'll pick.

671 Blower: $8700
Underwear: $40
Hmm...
Get ready for new underpants!

I say JSOP's getting $8700 worth of underwear this Christmas.

Are you building the last of the V8s?
If you get a blower, everyone will need new underwear.

You're married to Ursula Andress?
Or are you more the Rumpole type?

Yup.
From H. Rider Haggard's "She: A History of Adventure" (initially serialised in some penny dreadful or another). Played by Ursula Andress in the movie She[^].
And the only thing we get to learn about Rumpole of the Bailey's[^] wife.
