At least the girls don't totally crash, like a ZX-81 does when it's RAM pack
wobbles. >:-)

When my girlfriend and I were about to make love for the first time,
she spied the TS 1000 on my night stand and said, "Oh, Tom! It's so small!"
She *was* talking about the computer, wasn't she? Wasn't she??? 8^(
