Re: [PLUG] OT (but not really): Tough Interview questions
|
Hey JP, obviously you're not old enough...
my response was immediate:
Abbey Road by the Beatles
or Days of Future Passed by the Moody Blues
or Benefit by Jethro Tull
or Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor Op. 67
performed by the Tonhalle Orchestra, David Zinman conducting
or ... oh, nevermind - I'm losing count. _NO ISLANDS FOR ME_ without
my mp3 collection!
Maybe that's why I like the command line: it's so... old.
