All of their stuff came with a flock on one-liner basic programs that didi various weird things, plauy a little game, do a funny graphic, etc. They did a little demo of the basic shape-animation ( anybody still remember - SHAPE TABLES?)that still cracks me up, for some reason. ( A guy walks out of a house and points his finger away from the house and a cat runs out and falls off the end of the screen. Guess you had to be there) Anyway, my first recognition of their weirdness came after I had run a graphic-test pattern program of theirs. You got the prompt back, but no matter what you typed, a different message showed up: "This is your computer. I am in control. Get up and go the computer store and buy a big bag of memory chips. Whatever you do, do not turn of the power!" (one letter appeared every time you hit a key on the keyboard...) Brian Bishop br...@grebyn.com
