Also, this game is amazing.
I`m awethome.
Who`d `ve thunk it?
Guess they taught me something useful at school, even learned it with a pen and ink and an inkwell to dip into inserted into my desk!!!
They also supplied blotting paper!!!

Boomer and skills!
Can we use rotary phones, too? Ooh! I can even run a PBX!
