Origin of the word "boot" was created by Amizar (Amizar)
A few weeks back, I wrote a very short audio drama about the early days of computing and the origin of the word "boot" meaning "to start a computer." This drama was intended as an opening segment for a podcast called "Technorama." They liked it a lot, and have performed it along with sound effects and characters! It went out nationwide on April 23rd.
This actually happened to me... I'm "Barry," the geeky freshman, in this production. The whole podcast is about an hour, but my part is the first two minutes. You can listen/download the episode here:

Enjoy!
