The usual basic syntax for the POKE command

Oh My God

Just saw my First UFO.
I was in a meeting, getting bored of being told that we are downsizing the company, when all of a sudden I saw this light changing object, moving erractically across the sky. I followed it across the skyline and then it went behind a building. I waited eagerly for it to reappear on the other side, but it did not. I guess it shot up into the sky as I could not find it again.
Has anybody else had such an experience 5-10 minute ago in the Western Sky above London?

PONG systems

rock! Was yours the standard General Instruments jobbie, or was it one of the nifty custom ones that had games that all your friends pong machines didn't have?

Besides, I'm not a fully fledged geek. While I like geeky subjects, I do actually have a social life, and actively enjoy socialising with friends. And, I do currently have a girlfriend.

And I don't wear an anorak, or play Dungeons and Dragons, or have dandruff, or live in a flat full of crusty tissues (although my flat IS full of techno junk...)
