The Red Baron would cry softly into his propellers, gentle reader, were he to see how his exploits have fared in the face of modernity. Twenty years ago, we relived the glory days of biplanes from the comfort of our couches, in a manner of speaking. Some of my fondest memories as a toddler involved watching my pop turn on the ol’ Intellivision, blithely oblivious to the impending explosion of technology. We would discover in less than a decade that you could have more than five colors on the screen. Simultaneously, even.

I’m going to throw you a bone today, gentle reader, and it’s going to take the place of conversation. We’re having a company meeting in a few minutes, and more to the point they’re letting us out early. See you on Monday.
