I'm buying as many bulbs as I can. They will be worth millions some day.


I really doubt it. The CFLs keep getting better and they are cheaper to
operate. Keeping your head in the sand is your option though. How is
that 8088 computer working for you? DOS makes it so simple to use.


Hey! Watch your mouth! I still have one of those over in the corner,
there. (Really need to light it up some day, and see if the hard drive
still spins...)


wanna buy a 56K modem for it? I still have a 56K *real* (not winmodem) ISA
modem. Looks like I should have put it up for sale while it was still worth
anything.
