only if you can suss how to get food in without anyone noticing :)

Any decent sneak would have his computer drawers/wardrobe filled with emergency rations for just this very occasion.

This gets me pondering what do us geeks enjoy snacking on when immersed in
all things BBS? :)

I've been known to chow down on potato chips (some call them crisps?) at times..well more times than I'd like to admit. Coffee is a good friend also. Chocolate can make recurring guest appearances to. I'm not sure who will win the golden globe for best food companion 2019 - it's a hot field and kinda
too close to call :)

Back in the day when I was programming mod packs and pfiles or + files for Image BBS for the C64, I would usually get home from work load up on 4 o 5 slices of pizza, make sure I had 2 or 3 packs of smokes, and 2 2litre bottles of coke. I would start around 7pm with my programming run out of smokes by
2am (I would light a smoke put it in the ashtray go to take a drag and
it would be burnt out) break out the rolling papers and make my own smokes
from butts in the ashtray. Look for more coke in the house and not find it.
Go back to the programming and wake up the next morning with my face planted
on the keyboard, drool dripping on the keyboard and keys imprinted on my forehead!! Then spend the entire day finishing the project I started the previous night and screwed up when I would fall asleep.

I don't think I have one thing that I snack on in particular. Lately I have been snacking on apple slices in an effort to be a little healthier. For the most part I've always managed to keep myself in pretty good physical shape but its getting challenging these days.

I do drink a lot of diet sodas though, probably enough that Pepsi should consider being a sponsor of Mystic!

When I was a little younger I used to like getting myself a 6 pack of a decent craft beer to drink while I work on stuff but I haven't been doing that much over the past couple of years. My body just can't take the next day like it used to (and I've been off and on pain medicines over the past 6 months or so due to a nagging injury).

Dunno about snacks, but when I was in IT I swear *everyone* drank Mt. Dew. Can't remember ever seeing a Coke or Pepsi.

I'm more of a coffee drinker myself, but when I drip pop Coke is my drink of choice.

I tend to snack on chips (all dressed) and pepperoni sticks.

Well, I just got back from the States, picking up an extra 14 hours
along the way. You can have those if I can figure out how to email them.

Forget email - netmail them to me :) and thanks in advance tomorrow will go
far smoother as my work and my wife will be super pleased with the stuff I
get done.
