They aren't *code*. I said code, and that's what I meant.
The best indication of this is the discontinued-software bin,
where old software is sold at about the media cost. People aren't
willing to pay anything for software that's been end-of-lifed.

"But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter.
You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless.
For living or dark undead, I will smite you if you touch him."
