Re: Your input for the perfect computer!

["Chris Alaimo" <cpalaimo@excite.com>]

It would be a pentium 4 3.2 ghz with a 200 gig hd and 1 gig of RAM.  It
would run DOS 6.22 and would have DOS applications that would do everything
one needs to do on a computer, with out having a GUI.  It would cost $37.50
plus shipping, be as big as an old apple 3.5" drive, have a dvd writer, and
one of those 23" apple cinema displays.  If you pressed alt-F11, it would
shoot cheetos cheese puffs out of a small hole in the front of the unit
aimed directly at the users mouth, and a hose would come out of the side
that dispensed ginger ale.  To order one of these, please pay-pal me the
$37.50 plus $15.95 shipping and handling.  We can't guarantee the shipping
date as we have a hard time keeping these units in stock (think: MITS
Altair.)
