The Commodore PET (Personal Electronic Transactor) Home Computer, 1977.
Check out that chicklet keyboard, with separate chicklet numeric keypad... and cassette interface built into the keyboard. Plus faux-wood paneling.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's being discussed a fair amount in Natter.

Any Actionscripters here? (3.0) I'm having a movieclip problem, where I'm creating a bunch of clips with a for loop and trying to place them in order within a parent movieclip (that will hopefully, eventually, scroll), but the baby clips are piling on top of each other and I can't figure out why.
The code snippet is on my blog: [link]
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

And now my display seems to have completely crapped out. Seriously, I do not need this and can't afford it right now.

Anyone got (or ever tried) a Motorola Droid, perchance? I'm getting an upgrade today and I'm seriously considering one. I'm in love with Android, since my fantastic HTC Hero, and I need a physical keyboard. The Droid looks good.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I like my Droid very much, but I very rarely use the physical keyboard.

Thanks - interesting. I almost never use my HTC without using the keyboard, but a better-designed phone might change that. Can't see myself ever typing e-mails etc without one, though. The Girl has an HTC Dream with a virtual keyboard, and I don't have the manual dexterity to write anything with it.
