Does Mike think he'll be able to sell it as an antique some day?

No, I think it's "I still have programs that work on it!"

The Windows 3.1 machine and Windows 95 machine are in our bedroom.

Do you think he brought the surplus chick cardinals to lure the rival cardinal out of his shiny palace?

Hee! He's certainly more secure in his,um...redness than he was in earlier seasons. Less unrestricted flinging rage and more deadly intent. In other words, he's not flinging himself quite as incessantly and violently at the window, but he's glaring at it and pecking a lot more.

Dude. I don't even remember what programs ran on the IIe. I will admit to owning a Windows 95 machine for the "but -- file compatibility!" reason, although it's sitting in my parents' basement right now.

Was there no new Unit this week?

Well, there you go, then. You never know when you're going to need an emergency round of Frogger. Best to be prepared.

Also, judging from my reaction to the smell of someone's lunch wafting over the cubicle walls, headache has become migraine. I wonder if the Walgreen's next door would have any OTC stuff that might help.

Nope. All repeats.
