During a quick trip to the mall (Ch'town, PEI) I noticed several of the pens (Darth Vader, Jango, Clonetrooper) and the big Yoda set. I might get a pen ($6 or 7) but Yoda isn't on my wish list (still almost $60). Hopefully selection will improve as (...) (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.loc.ca)

I got this 486 - 33Mhz with 8Mb RAM that taking up too much space and all I can think of using it for is a boat anchor and forgetting to put a rope on it.
