The term "unit tests" is actually shortened from "you nitwit tests".

Or a corruption of the original implication: Eunuch Testis ?

I picked up a snack at the New Delhi and that was the Maine topic of conversation. There were a lot of dirty jerseys, in fact they were Washington's of them.

I got the NES Classic Mini[^] and the SNES Classic Mini[^] 
They're FINALLY available again so we can all enjoy games like The Legend Of Zelda, Zelda II, Zelda: A Link To The Past, Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, Final Fantasy, Ninja Gaiden... And more.
I've played some back in the day, like Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3, I'm missing some (I'd really love The Turtles on NES again), and there are some games I've always wanted to play, but never could.
All work and no play makes Sander a dull boy... So guess who's playing today

I was never a Nintendo fanboi, but I got both given the price. Purely by chance I scored the original NES Mini when nobody could find them, shortly after Nintendo said that was the last of that production run.
I clocked maybe one hour on the NES. And probably less than 20 minutes on the SNES. Except for the original Donkey Kong, I'm pretty much a Mario hater (I find the games childish), and it seems like Nintendo was already all about Mario by the time the SNES came out, so to me the SNES was a worse buy then the NES.
I also got the minified Commodore 64 this week. My verdict (so far):
a) So far I'm enjoying its bundled games a lot more
b) Pity its included joystick is so bad with them; having a keyboard is a must with some
c) Even though you're supposed to be able to hook up a USB hub to connect both an external keyboard and thumbdrive (to play a game you've downloaded yourself rather than one that's included), the cheap hub I tried didn't work - hopefully a better quality one will; I just haven't had a chance to try yet.

That's your problem.
Super Mario World is already my favorite!

I had a C64 back in the day, but I never played much on it.
I also had a Windows 95 and NES at the time.
I remember playing Robin of the Wood[^] and getting stuck at level 2 though
The C64 is just a little too old for 30-year old me

That's your problem (to send it back your way) :-p
I'm 46 and got the C64 when it was still a new product.

Nice one! Some classics on there.
Can't beat the feeling of having the console controller, or arcade joystick, in your hands though

That's right and I understand it. I have played a couple of those in the archive and using keyboard is nby far not the same.

Anyone know of fun html script that would make some entertaining crawler thing.
Image having a digital wallboard running some html, and then a lemming falls across the page, or a shark fin runs along the bottom.
1 - give the pixels a change to lessen screen burn
2 - no and then something entertaining if someone looks up and spots something fun. helps break the monotony of work.
bonus if has some interaction with page. like a stick man crawling up and around borders.

Screensaver? Yeah, Sonny, I remember those. We used to have them 20 years ago... 
My favourite was THIS[^] one.
Apart from that, I think you're thinking of javascript animations - which by the way has nothing to do with screensavers. Screensavers are exe files...
We also used to have javascript animations 20 years ago... Sigh! Those were the days!
