Oh dear. "Bungle" seems to have created a second thread called "Poser of the Day". We'll just have to keep bumping this one up the list so the other one drifts into oblivion. At least I know that almost 20 years of having to watch Rainbow at work twice a week wasn't in vain; Bungle lives!

A lady in America was weeding her yard and accidentally cut off the tail of her cat which was hiding in the grass.

She rushed her cat, along with the tail, over to WAL-MART!

Why WAL-MART??
Well,

WALMART is the largest re-tailer in the world!!!

Must admit you are quite right John: about the ARM architecture, that was used in the Archimedes. The following computers I have also had and used, Dragon,Commodore and RMC before progressing to a VAX PDP mainframe. Must differ slightly with video systems. Still have and use occasionally a Philips V2020. Another politically destroyed product.

Hi Celadon,
Why did you need a Vax PDP mainframe? How big is it? What did it do to your electricity bills? Did it heat your house?

Yes, tell all Celadon!

At home I have a http://www.vax.co.uk/shop/product/multifunction/-Vax-6131">Vax 6131 but only use it to clean floors as it's not good at sums.

It's not very big but is noisy and very orange.

It wasn't all that big, about the size of a small wardrobe. Electricity was cheap in those days.

Just checking in and I found this thread had descended to page four. What are all you guys playing at when I'm not around? This is coming from the free Internet cafe in Scotland's Secret Bunker in the wilds of Fife. If you are ever in this area pay it a visit, it is fascinating. Good coffee too. Back home on Wednesday.

Wish you were here!

How are we expected to find this place if it is a secret?
Hope you are having a nice time.
