That's the one with the built-in pistols, right?
Very rare...
Good Gawd you just made me spit a half chewed bagel all over my LCD...

Shades of a story I posted to usenet some-- gods-- eight years ago now,
about the CPU Duel.


"The town of Daystar had always been pretty quiet. For the most part,
it was just like any other town. The town video card handled
everyone's screen updates, the local hard drives ran a U-store-it for
everyone's data, and there was Doc Modem there whenever anyone needed
to get to the internet. Typical of most towns."

"But there was a difference. Every town had a CPU to run the show and
keep order. Daystar had not one, but two CPUs."
