Parents encouraged their children to run after trucks spraying DDT.  "Experts" recommended spraying DDT everywhere, including indoors. Wacko

From what I recall there was a grab-handle on the underside of the keyboard piece and the exterior was a tough plastic shell. So when you closed it up it basically became a small, heavy suitcase. I would have been about twelve when it came out but I remember it made a splash in all the glossy computer mags at the time, which I was reading avidly.

Some say that money can't buy happiness. Some oppose (sort of) that, saying that they would rather cry in their Ferraris. A thinker once said that money can buy "time" that can be used for the things that one likes, instead of working reluctantly. (This is a plausible argument which can refute the famous saying I mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph.)

Can nobility prevent boredom? Oh, it doesn't seem so. Even Prince Charles' "full title" is boring. Hahahah.

His full title is: His Royal Highness, Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Earl of Chester, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, Prince and Great Intendant of Scotland , Knight Royal Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Extra Knight of the Oldest and Most Noble Order of the Wild Thistle, Grand Master and Main Knight of the Great Cross of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Member of the Order of Merit, Knight of Order of Australia, Fellow of the Queen's Order of Service, Member of Her Majesty's Most Honorable Private Council, Her Majesty's Field Helper.
