- I have a soft spot for IBM as the creator of the IBM PC, which in turn led to GW-BASIC and many hours as a kid tinkering. There was something very nice about the typeface and extended ASCII characters of the PC.
- Hail (Wikipedia)
Hail is a form of solid precipitation. It is distinct from ice pellets (American English “sleet”), though the two are often confused. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone. Ice pellets generally fall in cold weather, while hail growth is greatly inhibited during low surface temperatures.
