Now we have a model coming out next year (2001) inj honor of this famous Morgan gelding. It is #1133, but the name has been changed to 'Winchester.' I don't know when this change happened, sometime over the years maybe? But Rienze is now called Winchester, in honor of the town that was the beginning of the famous run to save the Union Army that day of October 19, 1864. I hope you will enjoy having a little piece of history, that we wrote about in our newsletter, and now we have a model to go with the story and poem!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash.
and the double-clicking icon puts your window inthe trash;
and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash,
then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,

and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
til your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse;
then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk
and the macrocode instructions cause unnecessary risk,
then you have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
