Not much is going on in Fremont, Ne that's why I like it. It is the only place
I know that my wife and I can go out for a walk at midnight and leave the front
door open. 
 
My Model 100 is getting quite a work out these days, I'm in the midst of a
career change that lands me back in college as a nontraditional student (much
older than the average 18 year old.)  I also find myself as a nontraditional
Model 100 user (this is my only computer.) My dad dusted it off and gave it to
me to see if I could make use of it. And boy have I; just tonight I have
knocked out two reports and a reaction paper. This old machine has become a
very close friend, and for some strange reason I would not trade it for the
world, even if it does force me to learn how to spell.
 
I evny you and your cars. I can only dream of a day where I can work on a old
car, as a weekend mechanic I have the stress of have to get the car back
together and on the road in the morning. I will save you my opinions of the
engineers who design some of these cars...But there is a HOT..HOT.. place for
them. grrrrrrr.....
 
I have two questions for you? First, what is the name of the area that lays
between where you drop a bolt and where it doesn't fall to the ground? I hate
to say that I have spent HOURS looking for this area of limbo. (are could it be
JUST ME???) And second, I always wanted to ask someone this and I think you
might be able to answer, WHAT possesses a man to take a nice looking car or
truck and "fix" it so it only a few inches off the ground?? Maybe if he had a
Club 100 hat the sun would not fry up all those brain cells?? Or em I missing
something??
 
Well thanks for letting me talk for a wile, even if it got a little off the
subject of computers. I have some questions I need to ask about telecom, but
it's going to have to wait till after an Anatomy and Physiology test this
friday.... If you only knew how much of a stress reliever Club 100 has been,
your records probable show that I have spent hours and hours in the library. 
THANKS P.S What do you mean by tricked out? I just realised I could end up with
my foot in my mouth if it meant "low to the ground"??
