Well, on a remote possibility he could: there's a private rehab facility
a few blocks from here. Suppose Bill Gates could go there if he needed/wanted to. ...Suppose he could rent the entire site -- think
Oh, I probably would have also, just because it the possibility of being about people in a strange environment a la The Beverly Hillbillies, The Munsters, than SNL skit with the alians "from France"....
Or Bill Gates living in your (or my) neighbourhood? <GG>
There's a group (The Society for Commercial Archeology) devoted to preserving what they call, "endangered roadside places."
Dinosaur World in Beaver, Arkansas is the largest property on their "Falling by the Wayside" list.
You are beginning to worry me... I would have thought not even you
would know this, but the fact that you know all about this stuff is quite GH>worrisome <GG>

And just what would you think Mr. Gates (aka, "Mr. Squeaky
Clean") might need such a place for? Is this better than the
hotels in town? <GG>

Maybe for the atmosphere: the facility was originally built for the Carmalite nuns.

Definitely the atmosphere, not to mention with those ears, he
sort of looks like a Carmelite nun <GG>
adjust it down. ...Figure the typewriter thought it was hammering

If memory serves, those old Smith Coronas were around when stone
was used <GG>
Icon? What's an icon? We don't need no steenkin' icons! <GG>Hey! Even the cavemen had icons! They used pictures instead of words.
And look what happened to them. How many of them have you seen
around lately? <GG>

Hmmm: I wonder about the historical period its predecessor the Burroughs Upright was from?!

Sure: down here we have them appearing in Geico (insurance) commercials. And they (te cavemen, not the insurance company!) even had their own TV show -- for about three episodes, IIRC.

I have seen those caveman commericals (we are your neighbour,
remember... we get many American stations <G>) and I abhor them.
Not only are they offensive in general, the are offensive to me intellectually. Whenever they come on, I automatically switch to
another station until I figure they are finished...
Wasn't sure if you had seen them. Some (a very small handful,
more from the onset of the campaign) are 'interesting'. I'll admit to
Third show -- things aren't getting better. Delete from recording list. Not sure if it aired past then.

I am afraid that I didn't even find the first "caveman"
commercials in the least interesting. But then, truth be told, I
don't find a lot of commercials interesting. One of the best uses
for a DVR is to be able to skip past the commercials <GG>

I don't ever remember seeing anything about such a show, and
after reading your "review", I am quite grateful for that <GG>

You see... I am the reverse. I might have watched the show if it
wasn't for the commercials. <G>

I have got one. I use it occasionbally for filling out forms and addressing envelopes.
Nice, but then, like the typewriter, you (and I <G>) are dinosaurs... GH>well, everyone using the BBS system is <GG>

<Writing some> GAAA!!! HAND CRAMP!!!!!<sigh> But I don' wanna go back to hammering on stone to send mail!
See? You've gone too techie, and are just as bad as the kiddies
in newsgroups <GG>
Come now... even the old electric typewriters wouldn't qualify as
being similar to "hammering on stone" <GG>
And this proves ....DOS works! <g>To keep "Those Who Only Know Icons" at bay?
True, but for what purpose? <GG>
Icon? What's an icon? We don't need no steenkin' icons! <GG>
