I'll stop by. It must be fifteen years sense I ran into you last.... Wow...
I'm sure they'd have that poor computer in bits, (heh, pun intended) and
still wouldn't let me on the plane with it. I wonder if I could get away
with checked baggage... I tried that with a big clock in a duffel bag at
Manchester (UK) airport, years ago. I got all my bags emptied in front of
me for the trouble.
"Tell me about this clock, sir."
It was obviously not a terrorist device, didn't have sticks of dynamite
attached, or anything. I bet it's twice as bad now!
Ed, tell us about this picture, for the web site and all!
