Just found that out, did you?

I read R.U.R. when I was ten.

Kids these days. Tsk.

We Are the Robots, 1977

Nope, never heard of it. Sounds like a wild plot, except for the obligatory walk off into the sunset at the end, mushy.

You can the play here.

One of the first programming courses I had used the Karel programming language.

Kids today! You said it Mark! I also read it at roughly that age. I wasn't especially impressed with it, but it has donated a word to history. Hey, not only that I can read and write cursive and actually understand mathematics. Wow! Don't see that much today.

Like you snowflakes playing Halo in mommy's basement?

It's giving me "The item is not available due to issues with the item's content. If you would like to report this problem as an error report, you may do so here."

Yes, it would appear the Italians know nothing about reproduction...

there seems to be a convention that URLs in email never end with a dot,

if you say

or then the software that tries to find urls and make them behave links will probably find a usable URL
