[Guess what I got in the mail today]

Something in the way she moves..
I'm pickin' up good vibrations...
Can't you hear my call (though you're many years away)
Baby, we were born to run...
Memories (all alone in the moonlight)
Goes like thunder; its a Bus-Age wonder!
I wait in this place, where the sun never shines.
Does anybody know what time it is?
Deep down in side, I've got a Rock-n-Roll heart
Down by the edge, 'round by the corner
She comes in colors, everywhere
You can keep my things, they've come to take me home

Rock Lobster

Joe, if you had the B2000/A500 spec sheets, you'd know what we
are talking about (look at the end of the A500/A2000 Tech. ref.
Manual).

Forgive me, I haven't been following this thread until now, but don't
these words appear in incredibly tiny print on the schematics in the
back of the A2000 users guide?  Made me appreciate Mr Haynie and crew
even more. :-)

  Just what is the meaning of the 'B-52 Rock Lobster' on all the A-500
mother boards? I opened up my friend's 500 and saw it there and had a good laugh.

It's a reference to something a Commodore engineer once said about the A-500.
The quote was something like "If they can't sell these things, they might as
well send in the B-52's and bomb this place".  Rock Lobster is a reference to 
the musical group "B-52s".

Go to your nearest record dealer and ask for a LP from the popgroup
"The B-52's". "Rock Lobster" is one of their songs.
