OMG! It's your birthday and I haven't composed anything yet. Lucky for me I think on my feet....

Happy Birthday to you,
The dog says woof and the cow says moo,
Blow the candles on your cake,
And make a wish your car doesn't end up in a lake.
Open the presents, unwrap the gifts,
If there are too many steps, take the lifts,
Happy Birthday, woo hoo!
I wrote this poem just for you.

PS: Maybe that wasn't my best composition yet, but Happy Birthday anyway.

Back in the early days of the 8086 computers, keyboards had their function keys placed to one side. However, unlike the keyboard layout on the cake, the function keys were on the left, along with the Escape key, and the numeric keypad was on the right. It felt very odd seeing a knob on the CRT monochrome monitor used to turn on the monitor; I did see knobs for adjusting the contrast and brightness, along with the position of the image but that was the first time that I ever say a knob being used to turn on a computer monitor. I believe the computer was being sold for about $140 sometime in 1998 as an unwanted obsolete computer that simply took up space. It came with a 5.25" floppy disk drive and an internal hard disk drive but I have no idea what the capacity of the hard disk drive was. I wonder if the computer is still running. I started off with a 286 desktop and a 386 laptop and then replaced the 286 desktop with a 486 desktop before finally moving up to a Pentium desktop and hooking up to the Internet (the 386 laptop had a 2.4kbps dial-up modem and ran Windows 3.1 so it was fun to hook up to other computers using a phone line, just for giggles).

Speaking of the birthday, Opaque, how about posting the party pics to the gallery?
