Joel Grey? Whossat 'en?

Taw - Bah! But they *do* use emoticons do they not? That is assuming that they can, of course, locate access to a working computer in Tawakalnistan, a country that has only been using electricity since 1994.

The Kingdom of Mustang is well supplied with 386 processors, and kilobytes of RAM are produced at a sickening rate in the Mustantopian Drone Factories, we hope to have a MegaByte by the end of the quarter. The Grand Llama desires larger storage space for his mysterious 'stroke' data and will stop at nothing until we have a Gigabyte hard drive and a 28.8 kbps modem.

We expect to begin filling orders for 256 kb RAM modules by September, well we would if we had orders to fill.

Ah yes, the country of Tawakalnistan will soon be awash with more sophisticated PCs! Think about the benefits to society! Such as... "blogs", etc. Let the good times roll!

Did you know that spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

It's truly a feat of precision Mustopian engineering, combined it with our 4 day or 12 hour usage guarentee, a copy of the new smash hit game 'Pong' and the Grand Llama is sure they'll be walking out the door.

So we're now posting irrelevant and unrelated trivia are we? Why? The answer better be a good one or else... *Raises paw threateningly*

Indy - Ah, good stuff! Those 80286's are classics. It's too bad that Tawakalnistan is stuck with Apple IIe's, but then they admire simplicity... .

The famous Esquilaxistanian computer magazine, Rabbitanical Mechanics, has given an estimate of the total materials and weight in a computer. "Where a calculator on the 80268 is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future by the year 2050, may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1.5 tons."

Sorry about that. Jaggy hasn't had his "medication" today, and that's why he sounds like he is channelling Taw. *Slaps Jaggy across the back of the head* Snap out of it, damn it! 286's didn't use vacuum tubes, only Taw's home servers.

@Indy: Impressive. I admit not to be as technically minded as many of the more advanced locals so I would like to ask a question in order to get some frame of refrence. Would you kompooter be capable of calculating my percentage of profit with greater effeciency than our standard 10 Row 100 Bead abacus currently standard in all SwissDruLandian Banking Houses? Our team of dedicated 6 year old's are skilled in all uses of this aparatus however progress we are willing to embrace progress.

Ah. Ermmm. *riffles through pages of documentation manuals* Eh *flips through more pages* Aha! Orp... *riffles some more*

Ah!. Erm. Six year olds you say? Why, uh, yes. Yes it is more efficient. Yeah. That's what it says here in the Kompooters For Mustantopidiots Guide and I'm going to stick to it.

@Indy: Plenty of riffling goin' on there. You shoore you don't need to verify that info with your 14 year old team leader in Bangalore?

Damn Capitalists and their damn IT outsourcing! *Walks off grumbling*
