If you wear clothing made from lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber, are you salad dressing?

No, you're a fruit-salad dressing. Tomatoes and cucumbers are fruits

Cucumbers, Fruit, did not know that...

A cucumber is 96% water; so, it's not much of a fruit.

I don't know for sure, but if I spare-a-guess, I'd say so, but wilt leaf much to the imagination? Let me know if you corn think about it for a while.

Only the finest styles - as long as it is French or Italian.
Russian - not so good - it keeps trying to invade parts you don't want it to.

Yes. And you are very likely not adding anything of value to the gene pool. I highly recommend suicide as a career option...

... the IBM PS2 286 ever comes back into fashion, I've still got compatible memory cards for it.
And for dozens of flavours of 386, 486, Pentium, and every other desktop & laptop whose memory I've upgraded (i.e. all of 'em; one of the first things I do when I buy a machine is max out the memory).
I've also got "just in case" old video cards, sound cards, and every other kind of card -- sometimes multiples of each!
If Token Ring ever sees a resurgence, I won't have to spend a penny on hardware -- Hell, I've got network cards for protocols I don't even remember or recognise!
Same problem with cables. I must have almost every kind of cable, adapter, and converter that's ever seen the light of day, but I don't even remember what many of them were designed to connect to!
Need a USB 1 card? I've got 13 (although I have used a couple of these in newer machines -- why waste precious blue ports for HIDs?)
[edit] I forgot to mention the hard drives! Anyone want slow-as-molasses drives with a capacity of under a third of a gig? [/edit]
The really good thing, though, is that I'm highly competent at carpentry and building, because I need to add an extension to my computer room.

IOW, you control the Netherlands' strategic supply of (almost) pure silicon, and spinning rust. Way to go!

A few years ago, I conducted a group of junior high-school kids around the lab at work. I showed them the embedded flash RAM chips that we produce, and told them that the ball contacts are coated with gold.
You should have seen them all perk up - until I told them that (a) we were talking about quantities of well under 1 gram per device, and (b) that it would probably cost them more than the value of the gold to get it off the contacts.

If you need a copy of DOS, I think I have 7.0. Maybe also 3.0 around here somewhere.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I've only got the DOS 5 manual.
Do you think it's time I upgraded my manuals?

I've got a DOS 3.3 manual here at work laying next to one of our build servers. It serves as a writing pad when labelling the DVD's we use for archival backup.

Need any 3.5" not very floppies? I have hundreds of them. Many are still shrink-wrapped.
I also have one remaining 5.25" floppy drive supporting up to 1.2MB.
