However, there's a breed in Scandinavia that makes your average tech-type look normal in comparison. Recently, a few computer programmers in Norway decided after a few cold ones to test out an old IT theory that the type of data transport used between computers is irrelevant. To prove the hypothesis, they printed out a few separate packets of code from one computer, strapped them to the legs of carrier pigeons and successfully transported them to another machine some distance away. Point taken, but the exercise begs one important question: "What color is the sky in a techie's world?"
