With all respect, Jerry, at that time you must
have done something Really Bad to warrant such
treatment by an Army hungry for warm bodies. (I
majored in Ancient Greek, and they had no problems taking me!)
Incidentally, I am not a war veteran and the only
decorations I ever earned were for Sunday School
Attendance or for a certain number of years of
undetected crime. My father was a war veteran
and earned his decorations the hard way.
Now, don't you have a Dell computer, recently
purchased, at your home? A replacement for your 386?
