I think you're missing the point of your legacy readership wanting information-dense content, with a minimalistic "user experience".
I know I'm late to the party, but the better way to write this is always to put the constant first:

The oldest hard drive I'm still actively using holds patches and sample data in a keyboard--a little 200MB SCSI drive. I think it may eventually outlive the keyboard itself. At one point in time, the keyboard itself also had the largest RAM of any computer I owned, at a whopping 64MB. When I was driving it back and forth from college, the keyboard was insured for more than the car it was in.
This comment reminded me of Derek Lowe's chemistry blog, Things I Won't Work With.

Any thread on SSD failures should include a link to Jeff Atwood's blog entry on the topic:
I feel ethically and morally obligated to let you in on a dirty little secret I've discovered in the last two years of full time SSD ownership. Solid state hard drives fail. A lot. And not just any fail. I'm talking about catastrophic, oh-my-God-what-just-happened-to-all-my-data instant gigafail. It's not pretty.

Knuth's Volume 4 only got 9/10 recently, obviously because it is soooooooo wordy.
In base Pi, the last digit of Pi is 0. Easy.
I'm waiting for the day when some nutjob fashions a piece of doggie-poo looking substance out of brown-painted C4 with an embedded motion-sensitive detonator.
There, I've said it. Let everyone be scared of any stray pile of poop laying on a city sidewalk. Perhaps then, when we try to ban dogs completely, people may wake up and see that it's just not worth going through life terrified of everything.
Ugh.
