    Computer literacy is like nylon. Nylon was supposed to save the world! But what did nylons ever really do for anyone? Computers are the nylon of the Eighties.

    A group of us students made t-shirts our senior year. The front said, “But what would Robert say?” and the back said, “Feed it to the piggs.” (intentional typo).

      I still have that hot pink long sleeve t-shirt…thanks to Anne Bousquet…through all my moves and given the fact I haven’t fit in it for 10 years!

    During the infancy of computer graphics Robert, while holding his hands into the air, was heard many times saying these fingers will never touch plastic.

    I always meant to make a button or T-shirt that said, “Who died and made you Robert?” Never got around to it.

    This is not a quiche. It’s a frittata. It’s all about the way you present it.

    I will never have children. But if I ever have a child, I will give that child two very important names: Velveeta, and Styrene. {Go for it, I said. After all, you told Mike Brewer your fingers would never touch plastic!!}

    Old thoughts from MBT: I really don’t believe in skirts for sinks. If the stuff under the sink is ugly, then let it be ugly.
