stock photo of old computer monitor When I was 10 or 11, I remember sitting next to my dad in our living room and reading computer code to him as he entered it into an Apple computer. We would finish the exercise and he would hit enter (or was it "run"?) and wait expectantly for the green type to appear on the screen. If we were lucky, the whole conversation would occur. Most often, there would be an error either in my dictation of the code, or in the typing of the code. We would then go painstakingly back through the lines, character by character, to find and correct the error.

How did the cats lose their eyes? Was it a birth defect or an injury. I have a one eyed chicken and I think it was born without the other eye since it has so many other deformities.

However, Leela has a very sweet personality. I can't make a good judgment call of Phillip; he's in a new environment and is still a kitten.
