Is it my computer, the cheap rot-gut I had last night, or is there some funky stuff going on with the fonts on TER this morning?

If you simply replace the tape drive that's third from the right, all will be well.

the Jurassic period of computer technology.  Large digital dinosaurs roaming freely in office buildings, leaving little space for humans.  Lol

so yes for some odd reason TER has messed with the fonts.  

I think you're one of the few here that doesn't get hammered every night!  Lol

And here I thought I didn't have enough coffee this morning! ha ha!

Pretty cutting edge, eh?

The deterioration of the fonts is kind of like HAL being unplugged as the number of members slowly decreases.

Speaking as a "digital dinosaur," I recollect the early days in the college computer lab, using punch cards to put together a program! Oy, so much time involved...it showed me that I wasn't cut out for a career in computer programming.

I tried that...with a 5 foot-long mouth full of 6" rail road spikes, it didn't go well!

You punched your cards and flossed your teeth at the same time.

and flossing at the same time.
