[ExI] 40 yrs ago today

[Brent Allsop]

Yes, I was at work at a small startup (cericore, my first real job after I
got my CS degree) and we had the launch up on the TV.
When it blew up nobody knew what was happening at first, nobody was willing
to accept that it blew up, even though it was so obvious.
That was like a gut punch, and I also mourn that day.
