a strange note...

I'll slap you all around with my Timex Sinclair 1000. (Feel free to
laugh, my parents got it for me from a friend of theirs for free. I
think we got ripped off.)

Holy cow. I just went through all the "Personal Computers" I've
actually used in my life. So far, I can't think of a particular type or
brand that I haven't used in some way, shape, or form in my life.
