    I bought an Apple II+ for about $2,500. It had 64k of memory and you could write little programs and save them to the floppy disks (two disk drives!).Castle Wolfenstien was a wonderful game to play with my little girls 6 & 4.

    Real flesh-and-blood critters don’t blow up like balloons and pop. They eventually swell up to about twice normal volume due to gas bubbles once the body’s ability to control internal pressure fails, but can be revived if recovered quickly (within a couple of minutes) and treated properly.http://www.geoffreylandis.com/ebullism.html(These cartoon characters are also not real. They speak and presumably are heard in a vacuum, which would be impossible for us.)

    And the space bar would have alt music and you can run a tab, as long as you have command of your senses. They may even let you return.

    I think that might be why he used that combination. It would be impossible for some unwitting reader to try it and get ejected into space.

    That should be “include.” I don’t feel like going through the copy/correct/paste routine for this one again.

    On my very first day of my very first computer class, we were told this would happen if we hit the “Escape” key. There are days when I wish it worked.

    Just in case it might help anyone… If you don’t have a numeric pad, there is a way to still use these alt codes. I found it when I Googled “alt codes”. I’d be happy to try to help if anyone needs it. Briefly, you hold down the “Fn” key while pressing a key with a lock symbol on it. There should be some indicator light showing that the function lock is engaged. Then, certain keyboard keys can be used for the numeric pad. M=0, J=1, K=2, L=3, U=4, I=5, O=6, 7=7, 8=8, 9=9. You can see the numbers under the letters on the keys.
