Rik would still be using it if he could! 

[Clive]

So would I!

[Rik]

I've still got a copy of Windows 1 runtime somewhere.

[Clive]

The good old days.   

[Simon]

Yup, let's bring back rickitts, scurvey and the plague, too! 

[Rik]

None of them have actually gone away.

[Simon]

  Where are they, then?   

[Rik]

There's about six cases of bubonic plague in the UK every year, especially in ports. It's easily treated these days. Rickets is not uncommon in poor households, while scurvy will still get people who eat a poor diet.

[Simon]

And you've managed to spell them all correctly! 

[Rik]

Nothing like having a good splechrerk. 

[Simon]

Yes, and the one on my phone is nothing like a good spellchenjer.

[Rik]

Carry the OED in the car.
