And we will not help contribute to stabilising the world until we start playing the game we are in, rather than playing the game we are not in.

McLeod relates a story told to him by an old prospector by the name of Long, observing an Aboriginal man and woman:

The man took the throwing stick he was carrying and worked it into the sand. He then broke off a hollow reed and, placing it in the hole he had thus developed, lay down on his stomach and appeared to suck up something through the reed. His companion repeated his movements before they quietly moved on...

Without delay Long, with the aid of a shovel, proved the existence of a soak of sweet water, from which he replenished his supplies...Only a few days later in the same place, another prospector had the same Blackfellow bailed up, threatening to shoot him unless he revealed a source of water. This was certainly not an untypical bush encounter. However, [they were] interrupted by yet another prospector riding a camel. The Blackfellow took advantage of the confusion and threw a spear into the bush and escaped.

On the diggings, a hue and cry was raised over this alleged murderous attack and a party was quickly organised to set out and teach the Blackfellows a lesson - for daring to protect their water. Mustering what guns they could, the punitive party went out to what later became known as Skull Creek, and shot every Blackfellow they could find. The bodies were buried in shallow graves.

The analog computer DO 240, made by the German enterprise DORNIER, is a high precision device, compared to the EAI hybrid computers, which were used almost only for education due to their moderate precision. It features very much elements in a highly compact case. Among others there are digital potentiometers (gating pulse manually adjustable), a highly customizable digital clock generator (which uses nixie tubes as a display), a digital counter, two function generators and many more. This computer was built in the early 1970s and was priced at 80.000 DM (about 40.000 euro/dollar)
