As I have said here before my 1st "store bought" confuser was a TRaSh-80
Model 1. Family Video (the last or near the last) video rental chain was
run on a Tandy 1000 using BSD (historic) uNix. They didn't declare formal
bankruptcy and they are using that old horse to continue to run things as
they liquidate/repurpose  the real estate they squired along the way.

 RB> ... "I am" is the shortest sentence in English. Is 'I do' the longest?
