- If you had a modulator, you probably had the half meg upgrade which was pretty much obligatory!Nairn
- When I upgraded to the A1200, I used the upgrade slot underneath to hide my hashish. There's probably still some in there, back at the folks'... .Nairn

SUCH a violation. SO unfair. She didn't understand, man! She didn't understand that that I wasn't playing Pacman or something. I was in the middle of hard, complicated WORK to get to a SAVEPOINT to get a PASSWORD to put into the TRANSCEIVER! GAH!
