Apple's first computer with a mouse was the Lisa. Have you ever heard of seen a Lisa? Well this is a mouse from a Lisa. Might have had something to do with the failure.

If Angela cannot do it, then it passes straight to Michael Roberts. I cannot do anything about it for the next couple of days.

This original portrait of Eric was created by our 13 year old nephew, Michael, while engaged in study at the Macaroni Grill School of Fine Arts. The medium is crayon on disposable tablecloth. Not wanting to lose this poignant but ephemeral masterpiece, Eric immortalized it via cell phone camera and I share it with you now, for your captioning pleasure.

That really looks like Eric. When you first posted it I knew exactly who it was. That's either a testiment to the artist or I've been hang around here way to much. In any event my caption.
