And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

When I got out of the Marine Corps, my first employer had had a banner year the year before I was hired. They wrote two checks, each for five million dollars. One was for a Lear jet. The other was for 5 Megabytes of memory for a S/370 168 MP computer.
I worked with a computer storage system in the early to mid 80's that was the size of a two-drawer filing cabinet, had five internal plats capable of storing ~5MB and if you powered down the system incorrectly the plats would slam together and bounce the storage cabinet ~2' off the ground.
