    I was in Las Vegas this past week for a conference. I attended my first Vegas wedding (our office manager, Laura, got married while out there), saw 10 singing Elvis (does that make it an Elvii??), and a spectaculor impersonation and show of the Blues Brothers. All of the music and entertainment got me to think about how things are still the same, even though we change. The one constant is our ability to show love, and receive love - that will change the world!

    So, let's go back to a song made famous by the Three Dog Night, and written by Paul Williams:

    Just An Old Fashioned Love Song
    aka: Just An Old Fashioned Program
    WAV: http://www.geocities.com/thejunction27/justanoldfashionedlovesongthreedognight.wav
    MIDI: http://wilstar.com/midi/justanoldfashionedlovesong.htm

    Just an old fashioned program, running on my new PC
    And wrapped around the software are the legal words that promises I'll never see
    You'll swear you've heard it before as you slowly load the disks
    No need in registering now, 'cause they've never send a fix ...

    Just an old fashioned program
    Written back in nineteen hundred and eighty-three
    Just an old fashioned program
    One I'm sure they wrote for the Apple III

    To run our code on it, and wait to see just how much time it really takes
    To underscore our love affair with cr*ppy code and programs that we know will break
    You'll swear you've heard it before as I slowly ramble on
    No need in fixing it now, 'cause the patches all are gone

    Just an old fashioned program
    Running now on very slow Pentium III's
    Just an old fashioned program
    One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
