Quotes

 * IBM (see above): You crazy kids! Get off my mainframe! Fred: (in response) ...does he mean "lawn"? IBM: My hearing does not compute, sonny. Increase your volume!
 * IBM: Shut your output! I'm a-talking here!
 * IBM: (to a Focci) Well, you certainly are all 8-bit, aren't ya?
 * Fred: How do you work this thing? IBM: (senile) I don't tell you how to program your life!
 * IBM: (points to a light bulb-ish item) That there's a vacuum tube. It "PWNS" yer fancy newfangled transistors. Explorer: Don't those things blow up daily? IBM: No, of course not! (a faint explosion is heard) IBM: ... then again, they do have a tendency to do things... Fred: (overhearing) What happen? Explorer: (sarcastically) Someone set us up the bomb.


 * IBM: (to Explorer) You think you've got it so good with yer mice 'n keyboards 'n graphical shells... well, ya don't! Your noob friend can't even use a seventeen line William tube! Fred: I am not a noob! Math is my skill, not running a machine with less memory than a floppy disk! IBM: Youngin', you are so a noob. Your noob status does not even compute. Fred: (angrily) I AM NOT A NOOB! IBM: What were we talking about? I lost my file. Explorer: Well, that proves the necessity of AutoSave. IBM: AutoSave? That's for lazy, cowardly, couch potatoes who can't even read a spreadsheet!
 * IBM: So whippersnapper: ya think yer not a Noob? Fred: I am SO not a noob! IMB: Okay! Decode this! (IBM hands Fred some punch tape) The text reads: 01001001001000000111010001101111011011000110010000100000011110010110111101110101001000000111010001101000011000010111010000100000011110010110111101110101001000000110000101110010011001010010000001100001001000000100111001001111010011110100001000100001 (courtesy of this site) Fred: ... IBM: Oh come on! An abacus could do it, sonny! It's just a simple binary sequence! Fred: I give up. IBM: That's Binary Code for "I told you that you are a NOOB!" Hee hee hee HAAAHHHH (wheezing sound)!! (Explorer overhears. He takes out a shovel and gives IBM a hard smack on the back.) IBM: (angrily) OUCH! What was that for, you little whippersnapper?! Explorer: 0101010001101000011000010111010000100111011100110010000001100110011011110111001000100000011100110110000101111001011010010110111001100111001000000100011001110010011001010110010000100111011100110010000001100001001000000110111001101111011011110110001000101110 (i.e."That's for saying Fred's a noob.")


 * Explorer: (to IBM) Are you sure you're not a noob? IBM: Of course not! Explorer: Then decode this! (hands IBM a roll of punch tape) The text reads: 127150157047163040164150145040156157157142040156157167077 IBM: (puzzled) This isn't even binary! Argh, what have you given me here, youngin'?! (Explorer hands the roll to Fred. When he reads it, Fred starts giggling uncontrollably and walks away smiling, while IBM looks on, baffled.) (P.S. The text is in octal (base 8). It reads "Who's the noob now?")
