- I guess the fact this was all going on in 1968 is really pretty amazing to me.

That is amazing. 

I thought this was gonna be about Captain Beefheart, though.

Really?  Back in the day I would tell older people to play solitaire to learn how to use a mouse.  I didn't know it was designed for that.   

Old Walter:  I've been playing solitaire for 3 days and still don't know how to use this damn mouse!
Me:  You've been playing solitaire on the computer for 3 days and still don't know how to use the mouse?
Old Walter:  On the computer?
