Pft. Difference Engines. You kids have it easy these days.
In my time, we had to carve 0's and 1's in clay tablets, and
bake them to retain some data. Programming was not for every-
one, since debugging consisted in dealing with plagues of
locusts. And don't get me started with these "download"
things -- we didn't have downloads, it was uphill both ways,
and those damn tablets were heavy!
