My right arm is still longer than my left from back in the day when I carried my "laptop" computer from place to place. (I think it was a Zenith. Was from back in the day when you could run Word Perfect off of one 3.5" floppy and save your files on the other. Didn't even NEED a harddrive!) ;)

Back then, I used to play more games on the computers. Wonderful mahjong version (Shanghai) on my ST. Played a poker game on the laptop that I liked because it didn't take long to figure out the computer's patterns for bluffing, etc. If I ever encountered a dealer like that, I'd be rich! ... I loved the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" adventure game, but never made it all the way through it. The only one I "solved" was "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards." Considering all of the non-church-lady things I had to get Larry to do in order to win the game, I probably really shouldn't confess to the last part, so forget you read it. ;)

Yeah but I'm a girl and my unlimited power has to be pretty. Like, say, a whole country with like diamond and emerald mines.

South Africa? Are you sure? Or are we dealing with something more along the lines of Oz?

But you're supposed to GIVE me presents!

I give you presents all the time and you didn't even acknowledge my birthday.

I must have been really high-tech, then...mine had one floppy drive that was both A: and B: with a software switch, and I installed a daughter board with 1.5Mbytes of memory chips that gave me a virtual hard drive.

Woo-Hoo, I was like Downtown Brown with that machine!

How about The Girl From Ipanema?

No, I didn't know that before now. Google is our friend!

 Spotsy!!!! Doncha just love Virginia? Why don't you head my way? If it doesn't get cold soon, I'm going to have to mow again! I'd let you 
help...:-) My mom emailed telling me my dad mowed today, and they live further in the mountains at a higher altitude. It's supposed to be knee deep in snow there, not 60+ degree weather!

Hey, Fawnn--it looks like they are going to repeat the "White House" show on Saturday at 4pm, CST. I haven't read the thread, and if 5 other people have given you this information, sorry! ;^) I just wanted to give the information when I got your question.
