Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
"And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time." -

DJNZ was such a lovely little instruction
So he thought for a moment, and implemented the Newton-Raphson iterative algorithm, in Z80, off the top of his head
It wasn't fast enough (took about ten frames or something), so I spent an hour or two digging through old copies of Personal Computer World that evening, and found what I vaguely remembered reading some years before - a super-fast Z80 integer square root function.
Took it into work for him the next day - worked a treat
I've since read a detailed explanation of how and why it works (in the book Hacker's Delight) and I still don't understand itComment

No I've always been a bit geeky... I was rather popular though - something to do with the length of my skirts I suspectEeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.

I'm not sure I would've described myself as a "babe" even then...
