Dear Mr Ortega, you are absolutely wasting your time arguing
with Jim Carr: Mr Carr's skull (if you were not aware of
this) contains only a beat-up old Commodore computer
(which, as I understand it, he picked up in a garage sale
some years ago, "in the nick'o'time, as it was told to me
by an acquaintance of his doctor's). You may ask Mr Carr to
compute a few sets of figures... and the probability is high
he will return a correct answer. However, understanding (I quite
assure you) is just asking too much of that old Commodore.

Although I do wonder whether, sometimes (in the wee hours
of the night)... he run a couple of those ancient AE games
through his head. You know: for ole times' sake.

(Wonder if ole Jim will understand
I'm just kidding? 'Tis a paradox indeed!)

Did that people of the garage sale have another C64? A friend of mine once
had one and I want one too. I have a ZX-Spectrum if that counts for
anything.

Depends: Is it in your skull or in your garage?

A ZX-81 at work and a Porsche at home in the gay-rage. Talk about boastful.

It's in the garage, and it has got tha' flu.

Been thinking about it, but at present I am swapping between 100% job 50%
studies, that person in the bedroom, some coding projects (as usual) and
quite a few tons of snow to move from the said garage, drive-way and roof.

I think we set a new March record this year, 225cm.
