Not bad, Now I want to write these on my toast 'Please don't eat/toast me!' or 
'S0C4 Abend', or 'JCL error in Toaster!' or 'I'm burned!' something like that 
for us bored Sysprogs... ;-D

However, that toast must be edible with honey and syrup or egg/bacon on the top 
anyways. ;-)

It must be more or less Friday today... last time I looked... ;-D

Groete / Greetings

If you're using those devices, you're toast! I'll rather wait until IoT 
('Internet of Things') is becoming mature enough to be useful... [1]

When I'm big and I'm near that king mentioned in that excellent joke, I want to 
be a EE, Electrical Engineer! 

A quote from the joke - "A toaster that only makes toast will soon be 
obsolete." - Hmmm, does it matter whether it can do white bread or brown bread?

Predates the current discussion by some margin. Have a look at the hardware 
called for ...
And if you go up a level, note the dates on the files.
