Which is precisely where all T-29s belong IMO (but I'm not telling you
anything you don't already know).  The only good thing about the T-29 was
its Japanese in-line (Toshiba) CRT, which was a major innovation,
especially when other local manufacturers were still using old delta CRT
technology.  Pity about the rest of the set though (no offence, Bob).

Seems they've got you well fooled then.  I happen to have it on good
authority that they've actually been watching Pamela Anderson Lee in
Baywatch (and that new show where she plays a PI (or whatever) but still
flashes her tits.

The rats are not telling you porkies - in fact, it was me!

You mean it isn't really true?
