Section 2048-WhoDoWeAppreciate
Anyone with the initials ARD heralding from the UK may only submit
projects like completely disassembling and re-assembling a 14" winchester
hard disk in a normal, unfiltered room, blind-folded, with the lights off
and one arm tied behind his back and still be able to have data be read
from the drive. Anything less and he will be forced to repair a
modern-day PC compatible 300Mhz Pentium II computer with only the original
Taiwanese-produced "user's manual" as a reference.
