Life in a Dynamic, Scalable, Affordable World

I

Early generation
word processor for sale
it will not crash, guaranteed
unless you drop it on the floor
or out the window.

Printer functionality

It's a little known fact
more snake-bite kits are sold
in Alaska
than any other state.

Apparently
there's a lesser known fact --

trying to sell you 
snakebite kits,
typewriters,
or anti-terrorism legislation.

Be on the lookout
or you may find yourself
paying dearly
for something you don't need.
