12-INCH MONITORS?? When I got started, all I had was an antique Olivetti
typewriter. And dirty napkins because there was no paper!
Why, I didn't even have a floor. I was lucky to have a ditch in the ground
next to me so I had a place to sleep.
You people with 12-inch monitors think you're so deprived...
