They stand up well to my college beatings.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Anyone know of anything going on with Amazon.com? I haven't been able to get into the site all day.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm getting around on Amazon without any trouble.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I couldn't get into Amazon earlier, but it seems to be working for me now.
In other news...
IBM puts PC business up for sale.

I can't get into Amazon but the UK site is fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amazon's been down and not down for me.
Does anyone like IBM PCs?

If I only had a brain...
I love my ThinkPad kind of a lot. But I bought a Dell to replace it, because the price differential was just too high.
Can anybody recommend a reliable maker of electronic keyboards (the kind you play like a piano, not the kind you type with.) I'm thinking of getting one for the family for Christmas. I've played the piano before; the kids would be hacking around. Some sort of way of dumping melodies to a PC would be nice.

People have said good things about their laptops.
The last IBM PC we had around here was an XT. It had a 10 MB hard drive.

If you just want something to use as a controller for the PC sampler software then M-Audio makes some nice keyboard controllers. If not Roland, Kurzweil, or Korg all make nice keyboards across a pretty broad price spectrum.

I do not have positive things to say about my old Thinkpad. But it is dead and gone and sold on ebay.
