This ...

@Mr Young

A dictionary???!!! You mean you haven't got an app for that?

Dress up?

Can you get alternative costumes, Hawaiian shirts, party dresses, blue suits, software t-shirts, etc?

Accessories?

Does anyone know where to get a similarly sized cage, google t-shirt and android phone?

Damn you flatscreen monitors! I miss all the crazy junk on top of my screen!

So much disrespect for the recently departed.

And soon to be sanctified.

It gives me a real feeling of hope for the world.

I dread to think what the equivalent Mark Hurd doll would be like
