That was $3.50 too much.

Nope, as you've probably been told by now.

Billions of those junkers. There was a Sanyo specific magazine out by Falsoft
Publishuing near Louisville, KY some years ago called Soft Sector, that's what a
terrific machine it was (YUK). Without a keyboard you are *screwed*. It uses a
proprietary keyboard that has no ALT key. Real piece of crap (for lack of a better
word in public). Maybe you got $3.50 worth with the floppy drive anyway.
