One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last
ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world will
be better for this.

To code the impossible code, This is my quest --
To bring up a virgin machine To debug that code,
To pop out of endless recursion, No matter how hopeless,
To grok what appears on the screen, No matter the load,
To write those routines
To right the unrightable bug, Without question or pause,
To endlessly twiddle and thrash, To be willing to hack FORTRAN IV
To mount the unmountable magtape, For a heavenly cause....
