<div>all right mr antique... just go play with your little friends archie and vanessa and their pet gopher. Next thing I know you'll be singing the praises of VMS and the wonders of VAX and all it's fun instructions. You can sit in the closet or anchor a boat like my old 3B2's. Really, who cares about that kind of old school cred. It's very different from current technology and isn't really useful knowledge about you or your company. Unless I'm looking for someone to make my new website render properly in mosaic 0.3. </div>
