but even so the
calculator is small and
I won't have any problems finding room for it.
Your in-laws let you keep these things? Lucky bastard.
My mother-in-law insisted I take it. I couldn't believe
she had one, let alone still had it after all these years.
I rank this with discovering when I was in high school
that my grandmother liked science fiction and had a
collection of old novels. I would never have guessed,
but should have had a clue when I found her watching the
old "Planet of the Apes" TV series a few years before.
My in-laws won't let me have their Apple IIc+
setup... despite the fact
that they literally use it as a door stop (they have the monitor in use
proping a door open... makes me cringe every time I am over there).
I've offered many times to trade it for a nice brandy spanking new,
safety orange, soft rubber door stop... but nope... they just won't let
me have it. Someday I'll convince my wife to put her foot down and take
it... technically it is her computer.
The sooner the better. You don't want to hear "well, we
finally just threw it out and got a brick".
