Good evening, Graham and Helen. I've had a question I wanted to ask you. I thought that Helen and yourself had more experience or might point me in the right direction, but for the past 15 years I've lived on my sailboat and cruised around. Prior to that, my wife and I had two different houses. Anyway, I just recently moved off my sailboat, and I'm buying a different one, a smaller one, that I can cruise around on, but I don't have to live on it. So I just bought an apartment, or not bought an apartment, I rented an apartment. And there's one room in the apartment that I'm going to probably utilize. It has hard-work floors. It's about 12-feet wide and 25-foot long. And because I was on the boat, I have no furniture to move into the apartment, so I have to go out and buy or rent or whatever you do to get furniture in this one big room. And my question to you is, the theme of my room that I'm going to decorate it will probably be nautical. It'll have something to do with the sea. And also it'll have something to do with the computer electronics, which I've been doing all my life. So my question to you, if I'm trying to create a theme for this room, what would I buy? What I've done is I've traveled quite a bit, and I've got a bunch of pictures and posters I've put on around the walls. And they're different geographical places, and they have something to do with the electronics and computers and sailing and that. But if I'm buying furniture, bookcases, and what have you for this room, how would I give it a theme? Do you know, if I wanted to give it, say, a mariner theme, would I buy new curtains or couches? I'm just curious, in your opinion, if I wanted to give it a mariner-type theme or maybe a computer theme, what ideas would you have for me that I could create this room and have a mariner or computer-type theme?

I couldn't remember when I was talking to you earlier. But I got to tell you about the Pittsburgh sports fans. Like the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Pittsburgh NHL hockey team, their shirt colors are black and gold. So everything in sports oriented, particularly the Steelers in the NHL hockey team, everything is black and gold. Well in the 1970s I used to work for Control Data and we used to work on Cray computers. Cray built the first, Seymour Cray in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin built the world's first supercomputer. And it was really big and really, really fast. But anyway, the funny story is the supercomputers were called Cray. Cray, C-R-A-Y, Seymour Cray was named after. And they had the Cray 1, 2 and all that stuff like that. And they had millions of dollars. But anyway, Carnegie Mellon I think it was, an engineering school, bought a Cray supercomputer. And I think this was in the 70s, might have been the 80s. But this guy got this multimillion dollar supercomputer and they got it from Cray computer and it was an engineering wonder to be in Pittsburgh. One of the rules that the University of Pittsburgh or Carnegie Mellon, whoever owned it, gave to Cray computer when they built it, it had to be black and gold. So they built this huge supercomputer and the outside of it was black and gold, the city's colors.
