in reply to a message by Barb

He's the cyber-toast of Victoria, plays all the big Internet cafes, travels with a 20-man posse, has stretch SUVs and palatial villas in exotic places like Medicine Hat and Kitchener...

meanwhile, his loving Mom sits shivering in the dim-lit back room of the tiny library in Tofutti, BC, eating cat food and staring wearily at the grey image on the 13" screen of her hand-me-down 286.

Where is the outrage?!! Where is the justice?!! Don't be a cheap-ass, Mikey. Spring for a Pentium 4 for Mother's Day!!

•I just assumed from my own Mom's situation (she prefers the Purina One Salmon & Tuna to the smellier canned stuff). But like in the old Dilbert cartoon, we gave her an Etch-A-Sketch and TOLD her it was a Pentium 4. nt · Daividh · 4/13/2002, 5:13 PM
