I was a huge #Amiga fanboy from 1986 to 1993, and I enjoyed reading this: datagubbe.se/afb/ even though there's really nothing new you can say about the why and how of CBM's demise.

In NM they need 2.5 GPA - I could not have done it myself.

I would not advise it. I know from experience that racoons hunt cats and will eat kittens.

I was interrupted while I was updating video to change the fonts.
The alert went off to say that the camera in the cathouse was activated.
So I checked to see if shadow had perhaps come back. Nope there was a trespasser.

A New York man is suing McDonald's after nearly dying while eating a Big Mac.

You know, I'm not one to side with large corporations, but …

The possibility of dying while eating a Big Mac is one of the reasons some people order it in the first place.
