தட்டானுக்கு சட்டை போட்டால் குட்டை பையன் கட்டையால் அடிப்பான்.. அவன் யார்?
Ever since Imsai arasan movie released I was in the impression that these question is just for lough. But Came to know from LUX that all word have deep Tamil meanings..
I am dedicating this Picture to her
Below is the write-up/Answer from LUX
●தட்டானுக்கு சட்டை போட்டால் குட்டை பையன் கட்டையால் அடிப்பான்.. அவன் யார்?
1. தட்டான்
தட்டாதவன்
2. குட்டைப் பையன்
வாமனன்
குழப்பமா இருக்கா..
நம்ம மஹாபலிச் சக்கரவர்த்தி இருக்காரே அதாங்க நம்ம ஓணம் பண்டிகை ஹீரோ , அவர் 99 அசுவமேத யாகம் செஞ்சு முடிச்சிட்டு நூறாவது அசுவமேத யாகம் செய்யறார். அவரிடம் சென்று யார் தானம் கேட்டாலும் தட்டாமல் தருவதால் அவரே தட்டான் ஆவார் .
அதென்னங்க சட்டை போடுவது?
சட்டை எதுக்காகப் போடறோம்? நெஞ்சை மறைக்கப் போடுகிறோம்..
அப்படின்னா தட்டானுக்கு சட்டை போடுவது என்றால்?
தட்டாமல் தரும் மஹாபலி சக்கரவர்த்தி ஈகை நெஞ்சை மறைப்பது.. அதாவது தானம் தரமுடியாதபடிக்குத் தடுப்பது.
நம்ம சுக்ராச்சாரியார் என்ன செய்யறார்? மஹாபலிச் சக்ரவர்த்தியை தடுக்கிறார். எச்சரிக்கிறார். அதையும் மீறி அவன் தானம் தர நீர் வார்க்க முயற்சிக்கையில் சிறுவண்டாய் மாறி நீர் வராதபடிக்கு அடிக்கிறார்.
அப்ப நம்ம குட்டை பையன் வாமனர் என்ன செய்யறார். ஒரு குச்சியை (கட்டை) எடுத்து தலையில் குத்திவிட சுக்ராச்சாரியருக்கு ஒரு கண் ஊனமாகிடுது.
அதாங்க
தட்டானுக்குச் சட்டை போட்டால்
குட்டைப் பையன்
கட்டையால் அடிப்பான்.

On Friday we had a screening of WarGames at work in preparation for the 25th Anniversary DVD being released soon. Before the screening, the writers Lawrence Lasker and Walter Parkes and the script consultant Peter Schwartz participated in a panel discussion. After the discussion, there was a raffle to win this--an original TRS-80 computer.
Amazingly (since I almost never win anything), I won. Funnily I couldn't find my raffle ticket as they were getting ready to call the number and I nearly gave up, assuming someone else would win anyway. At the last moment I found it in my pocket.
This computer is from slightly before my time; my first memories of using a computer were the Apples at school around 1985, and the first computer I owned was a hand-me-down Coleco Adam around 1990 (at a time when the Adam was already incredibly outdated). My first PC was a hand-me-down a year or two later--a 6MHz 80286 Packard Bell (with a tantalizing 8MHz option stamped on the outside of the box).
The computer never actually appears in WarGames, though according to some sources, Matthew Broderick's computer was actually supposed to be a TRS-80.
As I was carrying it out, many people congratulated me and asked me what I was going to do with it. So far I've managed to get it to go into an infinite loop and print out the fibonacci series, but I'm guessing that's not what everyone was hoping for.

The LSI is a terminal for the IMSAI 8080 which is playing KALISCOP -- I think. The LSI had a sublime light green color.

The seller told me some interesting things about radio collecting: he thought it was on a dying trajectory.
Old-timers are eager to share their information about old models and their care and maintenance because few people seem interested any more. Nobody's coming in to perpetuate the hobby to a new generation.
It's not hard to figure out why. I'm probably the second or even the third generation of adults for whom radio was, at best, a periphal part of childhood. There was a radio in the kitchen that would sometimes be on while we got breakfast and would always be on if there was a possibility of a snow day. Otherwise? I've no nostalgia for these things.
Childhood nostalgia can be some really powerful mojo. I like to think that I love "Star Wars" because it's a legitimately great, timeless classic. I'd somehow be disappointed if this were just lingering affection for something that was a huge part of my childhood.
I do indeed own a lot of vintage computers. Why do I buy them? Because I think they're cool, and I love the history of the technology, and I like to fire these things up occasionally.
Today, it occurred to me that the same irrelevance that hit the radio collecting hobby might one day kill computer collecting. When I was a kid, computers were exotic and my fascination with them defined me. The washing machine, the toaster, and (yes) the radio were just common appliances.
If computer collecting does suffer that same fate, that's fine by me. Maybe I can finally afford an IMSAI 8080 or an Apple I.
