Thanks, guys. Actually, I can't take credit for that joke. It was from an ad in computer magazines LONG ago in the days when EGA was new (I think that was in the Precambrian period…). The ad showed a box of 16 Crayolas spilled open with several of the crayons broken and all significantly worn, and a shiny new box of 64 Crayolas (with sharpener in the box) with the top flipped open to show that all the crayons are brand spanking new. The slogan: "Remember the FIRST time you upgraded your graphics hardware?" — Joel Rea.
