  20. I don't believe you people! (And Marc is not the only culprit here...)

  24. I'd never want to use a machine with an attatched keyboard again, but it 
  25. doesn't rank up there with CPU speed and display requirements! 
  26.  
  27. If Cray came out with a new supercomputer that had an ATTATCHED keyboard, guess
  28. it wouldn't be a REAL computer, huh?
