Yo George
One year of a cars life is twenty years in computer technology terms.. kinda
like one human year is seven to a dog.. that would make my last dog aged 105
when she passed away.. and she was a passive smoker.. anybody who lives
either with me or close by is a passive smoker.. I smoke for piece in the
world.. a professional smoker.. I have no chance of living that long..
..
So you still haven't found any tires then?.. I have located a model T
computer for you though.. EBay is a marvellous thing.. it is essentially a
wooden frame with seven parallel metal rods, and there are colored beads
(wooden for safety.. passes all of Health Canada's rigorous tests) and they
all work.. it has a label on it that appears to say 'fabrique en Chine'.. I
guess that the French gotten to China first too..
Geez, if I never made a joke of things, I would be on more vallium per day
than cigarettes..
Stay safe, George
Mike H
PS.. get an HP 5150.. really fast and current until at least midday, the day
after tomorrow..
