Out in 2 weeks. Enjoy early! How was the Isuzu Piazza, a car that looked and accelerated this good, able to be produced on such a small budget. And what was its fatal flaw?

People gave up on YouTube's home screen because of all the crap YT was shilling. We switched to our subscription feed. So, YT in their wisdom have decided to shill crap there as well. Ugh, YT is getting harder and harder to use.

Working on the next script - VIC-20, or the VC-20 in Germany. Why not VIC? It sounded like Fick (f*ck), and for the same reasons that "Puck Man" became "PacMan", VIC became VC. Marketers dubbed it the "VolksComputer".
