Hey guys, we put together some really funny T-shirts for people who like old
computers (original mac, ti-99, c64, etc.)

We're basically just a couple of geeks trying to fund our old computer
purchasing habit. :) Some check it out.

Your wristwatch still does some computing, most likely. Just like
your Mac still burns cycles whenever the Finder seizes up. Doesn't
matter whether you are interacting with it.

I never owned one, why would I buy a t-shirt celebrating a computer
I've never used? The Commodore 64 is great in an 80s retro- computing
kind of way, and I used the hell out of mine--complete with 128K RAM
module and working GUI.

Thinking of a time when you were happy? What's wrong? You've got it made, but
you're still not happy. Poor Steve. :-(

This sounds like your internal monologue. If you didn't have a nice
week, whine about it to your therapist, not me. I can't refill your
prescriptions.

What're you talking about, Steve? Don't sell yourself short here,(it's
really not your style). Why, you fill all the prescriptions the
constituents of this NG require on a daily basis... laughter still is
the best medicine ya know.

You're probably so nostalgic about the c64 because it's the first computer you
whacked off to. Back when you could still see your winkie.

Wow, you're really funny, Steve. The next time we start talking about
personalities in here and who could use a 'transport', we'll do well to
