   I was a decent kid once, friends, a social life, well kempt. Girls liked
me. I bought a TI 99/4A. It was fun.  I stayed home a little more.  I started
hanging with a "different crowd".  I got an Amiga for my HS graduation in '85.
Somethings changed...where are the dates...where are the phone calls...MY GOD
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME!
