Allen's Computers Ding Morning, folks! What can I do for you, today? We need a new computer. A cheap one. That talks! And blazing-fast online! But not ugly! Maybe wood-paneled? And it won't confuse me! Ah... The #4 combo. Those... Don't exist yet.

The ‘wood panel’ comment is a tip o’ the hat to a guy in the local freelancer’s group. You wouldn’t think it to look at him, but his first job was as a telegrapher. Then, he worked as a lumber buyer for a TV/Radio manufacturer (they used the lumber to fashion fine cases for their systems) He’s also had some other professions that have all become obsolete over the course of his lifetime. I still think a computer with a fine wood case would look simply smashing.
