The fact that your .signature file says you are the author of a shareware
program for Windows. Either you have a PC or a damn good emulator. I've
never seen an emulator I'd care to develop anything on. Plus, any system
that could emulate Windows probably has a TADS run-time!

And Alison Scott says xe is using a PC "currently", which at least
denotes access to a PC.

Wanna try this one again?
