No problem - very funny movie, at least for most people I know. Oddly
enough, the Pythons *claim* that they didn't intend it to be a religious
spoof, it just 'turned out that way', but that claim to me seems highly
suspect.... ;-)

I don't have my computer from *five* years ago, let alone the C64!

Was that one of the Targa boards? I remember reading about them, and
thinking how cool it would be to use one!

Do you have your newsreader post these little reminders automatically,
or you do actually go to the effort of manually proselytizing DOSBox? :)

Yes! Of course I remember the brand of a video card my employer installed
in a work computer 15 years ago! NOT!

No, it's just that I've gotten to the point where I can predict when
you're going to post a link to it. Rather like knowing that if someone
posts a comment about inefficient programming, Andy will comment on
Haskell ;)
