I am teh mor3 l337 than yuo! Becuase I pl4y teh QuAEK 3 on teh my NES! SUCK IT CAMPARZZZZ! No, really, this outfit's pretty cool. For a little cash, get a fully functional computar, uh, computer that's wrapped up in an Amiga 1000, Atari 2600, or original NES. Available in Linux or Windows flavors. W3rd. More PCs should be functional, practical expressions of artistry like this. Are you listening, Dell Boy? Gateway Cow?

I'm holding out for a TI-99/4A, or maybe a Commodore PET.

I don't know that this is any stranger than people who like classic cars or Avon stuff. To each his or her own.

i actually tried doing that with an apple ][ e, but i wasn't tech savvy enough to pull it off back then (nor now). ah, the days of disposible income and dumpster diving.

Dammit, and I was going for a Miguel sort of pastiche. Sigh, I just can't do anything write.

'l337' = 'leet' = 'elite' = 'dumb'.

And to think that 5 years ago I was putting my Amiga 1200 into a PC style tower case. Oh how the tides have turned...
