The Geek's Raven
[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".

What was the relationship between Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla? Did they collaborate or simply admire each other's work?

Actually, Tesla had complete contempt for Albert Einstein’s work. He believed the theory of relativity was absurd, and favored the old nineteenth century idea of some kind of an “ether” in the vacuum of space, to explain why light travelled as a waveform in a vacuum. He believed that the notion that space and time were related was ridiculous and impossible. He did not believe that light speed represented an absolute limit. Tesla was quite emphatic on these points, and never changed his views, till the day he died, in 1943, at the age of 86. https://www.quora.com/unanswered/What-was-the-relationship-between-Albert-Einstein-and-Nikola-Tesla-Did-they-collaborate-or-simply-admire-each-others-work
