That's remarkable!
The movie came out only 11 years later! 
Props to those engineers  
And shame on George Lucas for so shamelessly copying Leo III/6 engineers 
But really though, I get that you're just saying "it's old".
I had not seen it before.

That's because you are young.

It's a LEO III, the 6 is just the serial number. In those days it took weeks to build one of these giant machines, and they had less power than the cheapest Raspberry PI. But they were fun to work on, and you could program them through the switches on the front panel.

I've all sorts of things to look forward to, New Year notwithstanding. Like the upcoming long weekend, beginning in just a few hours.
But - no matter how much I look forward to something coming I'm never in a hurry to get there; for the days to pass. So long as I do get there.
After all, how many days do we have that we should wish to hurry even a single one away?

Odd sync with something I updated (company online profile)
The song goes "Que Sera Sera" (Whatever will be will be)
Some of it already has been.
All that remains for you is now.
You're move.

Well, it is already 2016 where I am.
Happy New Year to all, hope all your wishes come true in 2016.
So far, in three minutes - one of mine has!

I'm pretty sure I don't want to know the answer, but..."which wish came true?"
And a very happy New Year to you, and all your family!

His wish came through - his woman was rather disappointed in only three minutes worth of . . .

It's 18:39 here, almost 5 and a half hour left for the new year.
To all those who already are in the new year and those who are waiting for it: I wish you all a very happy new year, have fun ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Well, people are still celebrating a totally arbitrary designation of time like it actually means something and wishing me a totally unrealistic change of fortunes between 23.59 today and 00.01 tomorrow (using a clock not even based on actual noon!) and not being carted off in white vans to the asylums where they so clearly belong for maintaining such totally irrational beliefs, so .... that's one wish that won't be coming true!

Better should have set their original DOBs while adding them as connections

You don't always know them - for example, do you know mine?
