And that...
...is why miners are not allowed to buy alcohol or drive cars.

Nicely done btw.

to design 2 of the best known home computers :) Jay Miner had a hand in designing both the Atari VCS and the Commodore Amiga 1000.

Was he related...
...to Willy?

I don't think so,
no Miners were hurt (that I know of) during the creation of those 2 systems unless Jay got a paper cut on some documentation. Or stabbed himself with an opened paperclip, and we've all done that! haven't we?

Too many times...
...to mention. People don't always realise the dangers that await you on a daily basis, when you work in an office environment.

Imagine the horrors!
Burning the roof of your mouth with coffee! Accidentally trapping some of the skin on your finger in a bulldog clip! Testing how staplers work using your thumb! Discovering how nasty staple removers can actually be! Trying to stab a cow-orker with a letter opener just as you discover they've got the same militaristic uses as bricks! the openers, not the cow-orkers, though this issue is open to a mass debate
