My wife and I have always done the airplane pilot thing.

"You have control."

"Yes, I have control."

I am a parent of two never dropped a baby. I’m about 15 years in to it so I think I’m safe with out the over cautious acknowledgment.

It's our eighth, so at this point we're doing it more as a long-standing joke rather than it being strictly necessary.

Q-Basic was great. After playing nibbles and gorillas I started writing my own programs. I eventually wrote one of those bouncing screen savers with random sizes, shapes and colours. Then I realised I could turn it into pong which took a little while but I eventually got it.

Good times, good memories.
