*bow* Gibson *bow*

In Israel we'd say something that will loosely translate into "you're 
living in a movie". It loses the meaning in English, but I am sure you 
can follow me.

A story of my own..
Back when I was still seriously into ASM, I remember someone telling me 
a story about someone who ran after bus 12H when they needed 18, because 
they were that deep in code.

Well, funniest thing, a few minutes later I really did run after bus 
12H, when I needed 18.
:)

Doesn't really compare with any Gibson story, but hey, it's a good one.

What idea did you want to implement most?
