Ok Sherman, set the Wayback for 15 years.
Now, it is 1971 and I have an ST selling for $400.
Is this a toy?  What are your standards?  More to the point,
what is your definition of a toy?  If I price a Cray at $400,
does it suddenly become a toy?

Just curious,

AT&T is not curious; they couldn't care less about any replies
or my questions.
