Portraying the elderly landlady Fraulein Schneider and her suitor Herrr Schultz, Doretta Massardo and Michael Waxenburg, respectively, supply a good deal of low-keyed comedic charm. Occasionally just a mite too quaint, their courtship is spurred on by their mutual admiration of fruits. While Fraulein Schneider is greatly pleased with the apples and peaches, the pineapple proves quite overwhelming--such a gift"...it is not proper...it makes me blush." He insists "If I could, I would fill your entire room with pineapples!" Thus, they launch into "The Pineapple Song," a romantic anthem. While Massardo possesses an able voice...

He has dealt with pests, such as Ornithonyssus bacoti, a tropical rat mite; Pollenia ruidis, a form of cluster fly; and a rare species of beetle larva that was found in a shipment of books...
...dynamo behind the little machine is something of a mighty mite himself. Short (5 ft. 4 in.) and stocky, the Polish-born Tramiel is hot-tempered, keeps his executive echelons in turmoil, avoids photographers (colleagues have dubbed him "the Howard Hughes of computer dom") and calls himself a "graduate survivor."
