"Scowl on Interrupt". About what I'd told him I'd observed in him, nearly a month back. So, he's taking it up to be cheerful! Like me, on Brahmo's "Why don't you keep quiet, wash & go off", deciding to cut talk.

Tested shift registers, to think of logic for handshaking is the next step (serial to parallel conversion). Srinivas drew a chess game with the 486 (meaning that the game ended in a draw when he played against the computer), he is confident of winning.
