I saw this birthday card with ALF on it. Behind him and in clear view was an A1000 with Happy Birthday written colorfully across the screen It even had an external drive on its side sitting on top (a nice touch). It read something like: Front - I tried to calculate how old you are. Inside - But my computer ran out of memory. Ken Spagnolo ken@umbc3.umd.edu Disclaimer: VALIS made me do it.

Not to admit that I *actually* watch the show or anything, but in every episode of ALF that I've ever seen, ALF uses real IBM computers. From the beginning he had an XT, and now he has moved up to the new series of 'half' computers (the PS/2s). Maybe it's just commercialism and he actually uses an Amiga off stage :-) > Ken Spagnolo > ken@umbc3.umd.edu > > Disclaimer: VALIS made me do it. ---- Dean Brunette {ucbvax,etc.}!hplabs!oliveb!olivej!dragon {ucbvax,etc.}!oliveb!olivej!{dragon-oatc,lobster}!dean Olivetti Advanced Technology Center _____ _____ __|__ _____ 20300 Stevens Creek Blvd. | | _____| | | Cupertino, CA 95014 |_____| |_____| |__ |_____ 'Dancing, screaming, itching, squealing, fevered feeling hot Hot HOT!'

I don't want to sound like I'm flaming (but I probably will), but
even though its bad enough he's using IBM's, I'm glad he
is not using Apples. Besides, consider what he really is....a PUPPET.

I don't find this hard to believe. One of the hardware designers was a
Jovian. He worked on the agnus logic and a bunch of other regular circuit
stuff. He had these green (alligator I think) bedroom slippers that he wore
to work every now and then. Can you say 'snot pit?' it means "May I have
the pleasure of buying you lunch?"
