>I hang around the door, heaving lusty sighs of impatience! My husband's only chance is when I'm away from the house...

Only chance to do what???

>Your wrist watch could not only out-compute ENIAC, it could out-compute some 20 of them and have enough calculating power left over to persuade it to vote, say, Republican ...

I was on the floor laughing at this one.

I was doing my accounting on my Commodore64 until 1997 - makes me wonder why technology often races ahead for "no apparent" reason... kinda reminds me when electronic keyboards began developing the feel of a weighted piano key to go with the piano sound and the acoustical effects of concert hall, yet the machine that did that (even close) at the time cost $40,000 (they are not any better now but cost less).

KWTT (keeping with the thread) I don't have to make excuses to enjoy time reading here, I just take a day off of work to catch up

That was funny, thanks. I wonder if you would mind if this lazy sod suggested making the link clickable by adding url and /url in [ ] on either side, thusly
http://www.theonion.com/onion3308/realtimetv.html That way, the terminally indolent among us don't have to leave AWAD or manually open another window and paste the link in.
