Apple-1 History?

Others, such as those exhibited by the individuals described in this thread, will likely result in Darwin Awards in the long run. It's true that environment may have had a hand in some of these, for instance, perhaps some of the individuals may have been dropped on their heads, disabled the door switch on a microwave oven and stuck their head inside while it was turned on, or had leaded paint chips fall into their morning cereal, or perhaps have bit into old style thermometers (the kind that used to have mercury in them) and sucked hard, but the end result is pretty much the same. Instead of worrying about debating their points just congratulate them that they were able to somehow manage to get online and figure out how to use email. Perhaps, they may have even be able to tie their own shoelaces today, or spell their own names. That's really a great achievement considering their situation, so email them back congratulating them, if you're so inclined. As long as you don't give them your home phone number, all will be just peachy. :-)
