First exam is coming up later today at 14:00. It's about computer organization and design. Like, how nice would this memory cache be for this particular thing, and so on. Interesting, but it's not necessarily fun to compute how much of the time some IO bus will be busy.

On a scale from 1 to 5, I give this exam a preview guess score of 3 -- interesting, not very hard, but in some ways tedious. We'll have to wait till after the exam to find out the real score, and see how good the guess was.

Summarily, here's a picture with an enlightening quote from the Fallout 1 team.
