Yeah dude!! And I have to fix that God Damned Sewing Machine!

Sigh.
She threatened to rectally insert it (the Apple // europlus) into the
guy who gave it to me.
I get away with quite a bit, actually. She did refuse to let me ship
my PDP 11 over here, even though she packed things like toilet roll
and Suave shampoo in that shipping container... at least they don't
require 110v 60hz.
Really, what the // lacks at the moment is a monitor. It has no RF
adapter. I'd have to rig something up. I gave my last VCR away, so I
can't use that as a composite adapter anymore. Hmmm...
...all this makes me want to either write a BBS for the // (like I
never started that project before) or for RSTS/E (like I never started
that project before).
I guess I should have tried harder to hit it off with one of those
women at sci-fi conventions...
