My friend brought a raspberry pi to work.
He asked if anyone wanted a byte and I a little bit.
Others who had a bit had a remarkably binary opinion of it, by which I mean there was a clear partition.
However those who disliked it kept quiet, they didnt want to get his backup.
Afterwards there was a hard drive to get on with work. Nobody wanted to risk the boot.

I had been helping an elderly neighbour in our remote village with a computer problem. After I’d sorted it out, I explained to her that she really ought to get antivirus software installed, and offered to help. “Oh no”, she replied, quite cheerfully. “It’s alright. My brother-in-law says I won’t need that away out here…”
That physically pains me. As you were, I was torn with my emotions.
“Knock, knock.”
“Who’s there?”
very long pause….
“Java.”
