[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Gravitational effects on microchips

Has there been any attempt to study the gravitational effects on microchips? After all, the GPS data "verifying" relativity are 99.99% based on predicted gravitational effects on atomic clocks. How do we know these aren't simply gravitational effects on the underlying electronic construction of the clock, rather than relativistic effects? Seems like a perfect confound, doesn't it? Of course the gravitational effects on microchips would be extremely small, but so are the predicted relativistic effects -- just microseconds on the hour. Seems like a bit of a coincidence, doesn't it?
