Dear akeane I must defer to your judgement on this, however, I do think your code is quite elegant, also clean and compact. (By the way did they make some new rule that the code must also work ??? I may have been napping.
Anyway as I feel your work is much more important than anything I am doing here, I am sending along my Atari 1200xl and TRS80, in hopes you can network them together with the c64 and proceed with your work. Only problem is that the only cardboard box I have is serving as my computer case. Be patient help is on the way! (Your post brought back many good memories and I laughed almost to the point of incontinence . Take care my friend.

The output is boring. 2. The terminal has more than 2 lines!!! It's an unefficient use of my screenspace. I believe the reason for this is that the grep command only searches locally for things I am actually looking for, I kind of expect the results I get from my codebase and as such it removes any sense of mystery or something new and exciting to spice up my dull geek existence. That's boring, grep -R should also search amazon, so I get more exciting results such as: Shark Season 1 Starring Steven Eckholdt, Nora Dunn, Patrick Fabian, et al.

Please can you change the grep warez to have this feature, and just install it on my machine while I'm down the pub, after all you do "erm, have root", so it should be easy for you to do :-) Thanks Ubuntu devs!!!
