The lyric quality of Jeff's message was lost in translation, which I've tried to restore as below: Ode to banana plugs The analog computers are programmed by wires which walked away, when the computers retired. To other loves with banana lugs and everyone loves the piggyback plugs. So fight entropy and bring the wires home For love of analog and the law of Ohm. - translated from the original by Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.
