It's being narrowed down. Probably something like Rolling Stones. Man 
they still R-O-C-K.

Facts don't need persuasive effect. Ignorant people can't be helped.

That is roughly $200 worth of hardware. Be sure to put some extra memory 
in it. Oh, you'll need a screen as well.

I'll give you a tip. Build a Power PC machine from components and buy 
Mac's latest Animation, you'll have enough leftover to buy some nice new 
clothes. Now, I don't know if it is technical possible to build your own 
Mac but it is theoretically possible for around 1/2 the price.

small by western standards, not hovel.

low-paying? What the fuck do you think I do? Flip burgers or teach at 
Nova Kids?

In the period Aug 1999 to Jul 2000 I had no social life.
