   Hi Ben,   
      
   RH> game--how many kids played Pong for hours on end with the family   
      
    BC> I remember seeing an electronic Pong machine at a yard sale.  They had   
    BC> it hooked up to a TV, so i played it with a friend.  So i can write   
    BC> that i actually experienced that bit of history.   
      
   I only played it once, never was into computer games, especially   
   mindless ones like that. Only game I play on the computer is Solitare.   
      
   RH> We've never had an iBook. Our first PCs were ones Steve cobbled together   
   RH> from various places--   
      
    BC> I've built my share of Frankenpooters.  The best thing is getting a   
    BC> highly functional computer for a low cost.  The worst thing i remember   
    BC> off the cuff is using OEM motherboards with non-standard, cost-cutting   
    BC> design decisions and limited availability of documentation and   
    BC> drivers.   
      
   Got a phone call once, person doing a survey (and wanting to sell a   
   certain system) asking if we had a PC, if so, what brand. I said "Yes   
   and the keyboard is a X, the printer is a Y, the monitor is a Z.......";   
   I think he was a bit bumfuzzled. (G)   
      
   RH> A more appropriate one around our house would be Ham and Chips. (G)   
      
    BC> Alas, my personal recipe collection doesn't include Ham and Chips.   
      
   Do you do seafood? Fish and Chips?   
      
    BC> Here's a recipe for Granola Pie, which strikes me as ecclectic.   
      
      
    BC>       Title: Granola Pie   
    BC>  Categories: Pies   
    BC>       Yield: 1 Pie   
      
    BC>            Granola Pastry *   
      
    BC> MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------   
    BC>       1 c  Dark corn syrup   
    BC>     1/2 c  Sugar   
    BC>     1/4 c  Brandy   
    BC>     1/4 c  Butter; melted   
    BC>       3    Eggs   
    BC>       1 ts Vanilla   
    BC>     1/4 ts Salt   
    BC>       2 c  Granola   
    BC>            Sweetened whipped cream   
      
   That does sound good. Don't think I could have gotten my parents to eat   
   it; they were very old school. One time my dad bragged he'd not eaten   
   yogurt, never intended to. Next time they visited, I made one of our   
   favorite desserts--sponge cake, yogurt and strawberries (split the cake,   
   add yogurt and strawberries to middle, then top with more). After   
   supper, our older daughter (about 4 at the time) asked her grandpa how   
   he liked the dessert. He replied that he really liked it to which she   
   told him that he'd eaten yogurt. He then pretended to act like he was   
   choking, to her amusememt.
