And I wish I could explain in detail how the Honeywell Computer made sense out of all the names, numbers and times at the finish line, or list even a few of the t-shirt slogans (which ranged from HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM to HACK'S BAR to ARTHRITISto STOP THE B-1 BOMBER).But since I only have 70 lines, I can't tell you all those stories.
