Hi Ben,
BC> Hi Ruth,
RH> It was the latest and greatest when it came out. Complete with a
RH> game--how many kids played Pong for hours on end with the family
RH> computer?
BC> I remember seeing an electronic Pong machine at a yard sale. They had
BC> it hooked up to a TV, so i played it with a friend. So i can write
BC> that i actually experienced that bit of history.
We played it a couple of times at my parent's house. I think our
daughters all time favorites were "Cave of the Word Wizard" (a spelling
game) and "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego". Both of these were
for the C-64; the sound effects on the Word Wizard were really
outstanding.
RH> We've never had an iBook. Our first PCs were ones Steve cobbled together
RH> from various places--
BC> I've built my share of Frankenpooters. The best thing is getting a
BC> highly functional computer for a low cost. The worst thing i remember
BC> off the cuff is using OEM motherboards with non-standard, cost-cutting
BC> design decisions and limited availability of documentation and
BC> drivers.
RH> A more appropriate one around our house would be Ham and Chips. (G)
BC> Alas, my personal recipe collection doesn't include Ham and Chips.
BC> Here's a recipe for Granola Pie, which strikes me as ecclectic.
BC> Title: Granola Pie
BC> Categories: Pies
BC> Yield: 1 Pie
I'd have to sub something else for the brandy. However, the crust would
be really good for something like a pecan pie; I'll have to keep it in
mind next time I make one.

Catch you later,
