#flasback on . . . .
The old keyboards, with reset buttons . . . The reset on the apple was
bad enough. But a shop i worked at ended up with a cat. The kitten
was crying outside, he sent one of us off for milk, and got attached to
it while failing to give it away. THe chalkboard outside read, "free
kitten with $20 purchase"
As time passed, he carried the compucolor, and took a class in it
himself. He'd been working for about 30 minutes when Fang, the former
kitten, crawled up his left arm and curled around his neck for a nap.
Another half hour, fang woke up, walked down the other arm, stepping on
"cpu reset" on his way down . . . Fang lived, believe it or not . . .
The real irony is that though he didn't know it, there was a 2-key
sequence that would recover . . .
