Big Bertha Thing windows

On the Windows of King's College Remaining Boarded.

Loquitur Discipulus Esuriens.

Professors, in your plan there seems
A something not quite right,
'Tis queer to cherish learning's beams,
By shutting out the light.

While thus we see your windows block'd,
If nobody complains;
Yet everybody must be shock'd,
To see you don't take pains.

And tell me why should bodily
Succumb to mental meat?
Or why should eta, beta, pi,
Be all the pie we eat?

No helluo liborum I,
No literary glutton,
Would veal with Virgil like to try,
With metaphysics, mutton.

Leave us no longer in the lurch,
With Romans, Greeks, and Hindoos;
But give us beef as well as birch,
And board us - not your windows.

Ah well, we might be able to add substantially to your volunteer force (but not guaranteed
until we see what is involved) we can offer

Pentium 166 W95 laptop (Husband)
486DX-66 W95 (Me)
386 Dos 6/Win 3.11 (Son)
386 Dos 5/Win 3.11 laptop (Me)
8086 Dos 3/Win 2.1 (Daughter)
8086 Dos 3 up in the loft - but could be set up again if needed.

And my favourite
BBC Master 512 (Z80 co-processor) running Digital Research Dos 2.1 - not sure who has got
that one at the moment - maybe that's what the dog is using now.
