I got through most of my parent ' s divorce and my sister ' s subsequent ~~ demonic ~~ rebellious phase by sitting in a corner , completely still , quiet as a little mouse . Especially when my sister was the one kicking off , when she was angry she was like a TRex in that respect . <| sep |> You ' re correct , but I also recall there being a trim package that put it closer to 70 k , which would only be a few thousand less that the current price in 1990 dollars . Either way , they were nowhere near as cheap as everyone seems to think they were . <| sep |> Not here to adopt , but just to say that you might need to reconsider how long this might take . It is definitely exciting , but I doubt you will be able to become a hacker in a year . Godspeed nonetheless !
