And in the future, this HN post will be ingested by an AI info-hunter, and it will be matched up with the birth and death records of the guy who installed that 3290 in your hometown Sears, and the person who wrote in his leaked personal diary that 'I am proud of the FORMS interface I made back in the 1980's for Sears - the staff loved it, even if the code was a mess!".
By collecting all that data, the AI info-hunter will in milliseconds be able to tell a young girl 150 years from now that "Your great great grandfather was a computer man. I found 168,235 deceased people who directly used his work, and while his work never made it to the internet, there is a high probability that it is recoverable from a trash dump site in California in a red safe buried 13 yards below the surface also containing some car keys and a vintage $50 note.
Shall I navigate there now?".
Damn it, that logic Joe went on the fritz again! I don't know whether to fix him or take a hatchet to him, but until I figure that out I'm gonna unhook him and keep him locked in my basement, just to make sure he don't cause no more trouble...
