I've taken quite a shine to this computer thing I'm pretty sure this computer thing has taken quite a shine to me. There can be no disputing the quality of computing or what it means to me. I haven't felt this way before since I first saw a Commodore 64 back in 1983. I knew that the first time that I ever tasted her data that I would have to date her. Now I spend hours, gazing into her screen pressing and caressing all of her buttons and if music really is 'The food of love' I've turned into something of a glutton because, I know it's just a machine but it takes me places that I have never been before. |

Very nice, and do you remember the old VIC 20? It had the memory of a gnat's whisker! Art |

I only used computers at work so I didn't know the fun I could have with them. Then a friend started showing me all the fun things. WOW! Music, art, anything you want to know just ask. Graphic arts, going to different places of the world, meeting new friends that last a lifetime. Ypeer I have also takin' a shine to this little ole computer. Good Jobber Hugs BonBon  |

I'm still pretty puzzled about which end of the thing you hit the tennis ball with. |
