- It's true. They had some extra ROM space, and couldn't bear to leave it
- empty. (I mean, that would be inefficient, right?) They couldn't fit any
- "real" bells & whistles into the space, but Tetris fit quite nicely, thank
- you. We look upon such frills as "programming exercises." You all look
- upon playing -- er, utilizing -- them as "characterizing the system."

- It's the 54601/02 series of scopes (the ones that only cost $1000 and
- look/feel like analog scopes), but I don't remember the key sequence to
- bring it up. See your dealer for more info.

- See ya, Joel.
