re: #6 GeneJockey

This takes me back to when Mrs. Jockey and I were in college, back in the mid 70s. She took Computer Science 1, which included Basic on a teletype terminal, and Fortran on punchcards. She’d type up her cards, hand them to Charlie, come back later and get “Failed to compile. Fatal error on card 3”.

Typo. Fix that and hand Charlie the cards again.

“Failed to compile. Fatal error on card 6”.

Ah, the halcyon days of yesteryear!

Fix typo. make clean. make. Run program.

Goddammit, I just fixed that typo. Fix it again. make clean. make. Run program.

DAMMIT I FIXED THAT. Fix it again. make clean. make. Run program.

Finally realize typo is in that other spot where I’m calling newline.
