Self-Destruct Activated I was really reluctant to get into computers, even though they looked really cool.

Well, that was a lie. I keep getting notices that DragonStrike is on its way. And I stay home from work, and it doesn't come. Last news said it crossed the border to Buffalo. Two days ago. Tell me where it is. I will come get it.
