Working on a Printer Paper Jam

Happy Holidays, folks. Have a great break, take it easy, look after each other, & see y'all in 2025.

Music: "Winter Wonderland" by Felix Bernard

Lyrics:

Token ring, nodes are linking
In the lab, lights are blinking
A bearded man
He's making a plan
Working on a printer paper jam

Easy fix: add a new mode
All he needs is the source code
But Xerox said no
Told him where to go
Working on a printer paper jam

That was what inspired Mr Stallman
To commit to making software free
Ask him to use Windows
He’ll say “Bad call, man!”
He ain’t touching what’s proprietary

Write a free C compiler
Put it out, wait a while...
A community
Will soon come to be
All ’cos of a printer paper jam

Soon all that we’re missing is a kernel
The final piece we’re waiting to receive
Ask 'em “Is it ready?” They say “Not quite...”
But Linus has got something up his sleeve

If you think macOS sucks
Why not try GNU/Linux?
It’s free as in speech
And packed full of features...
All ’cos of a printer paper jam
All ’cos of a printer paper jam
