Yeah, but osmium is poisonous. Upon exposure to air it forms osmium
tetroxide. I remember interning in a lab where they got this shipment
of some osmium chemical. It was packed in a container inside a metal
can inside some paper inside a box. After storing the chemical, the
lab assistant crushed the metal can to make sure nobody tried to use
it for anything.

No wonder it seems like posts and replies seem to replicate out of
control around here.

I don't think you quite understand. I never figured out how to program
it, *period*.

Other than BASIC. But BASIC was so, well, basic.
