@Nimbus It was - but the games were in colour, I think! His earlier one was just the green screen!

@DukeOfEarle That'll teach that Nimbus fellow and his snooty Commodore computer looking down on us like the peasant dogs we are and...oh...wait a minute...
The poor poor Sinclair...and the poor schmucks that were able to make it work...and store a few recipes on it before the memory maxed out...@EugenieLaBorgia
@DukeOfEarle But it wasn't a snooty computer like that Rolls-Royce one that Nimbus had! It wasa working-class computer with a rich history!

@DukeOfEarle Im sure he's some sort of rebel!!
He’s a very fancy man, dropping his Prodigy account name everywhere he goes. I’ll bet he’s going to upgrade soon to that fancy dialup network called AOL. But that’s what the nouveau riche do with their disposable cash these days. @EugenieLaBorgia
@DukeOfEarle I understand he has a top hat and fancy cane, too - he's even been seen walking around town tipping his hat and clicking his cane on the pavement! I think he should be stopped!!
He was singing “Puttin’ On The Ritz” the other morning while walking that pretentious Yorkshire terrier of his. Who does that? Well, aside from Taco and the Frankenstein monster that is... @EugenieLaBorgia
