It`s a cat, a puffy to be precise.

Ah, I see.
To be fair, they often say "you are what you eat". Some take it more literally than others.
More like report, like.
It doesn't work in other direction though.
I couldn't possibly eat what I am.
Toxicity level coming from accumulated metabolites of all those substances I have introduced to my body over years would kill me instantly.
I only live because they are somehow bound, deactivated and stored.
Thank you.
I had to save hard to buy it, but it was worth every penny, and it acted as a gateway to and catalyst for my career. I found I loved writing programs in BBC BASIC, and even busked up a recursion-based 'AI' system (or so I thought at the time) - thankfully however I switched it off off before 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. The name's John, John Conner, come with me if you want to live.
The thing I liked about the Beeb (over say the Sinclair) was that it had a proper keyboard that was a joy to use and, oh my goodness, when I upgraded to the 5.25" (floppy) disc drive, the loading times tumbled - goodness it was a revelation. I also got an add-on sound module (...I still have that too... Mrs PiLhEaD is 'delighted'...), which was also (sort of) my introduction to music production and a not at all lucrative but very enjoyable 'second career'.
As for the Elite Fn strip, well this was in the days when Lord Sir Dahling David Braben OBE TGC* would pop over in person to install said strip of card. He had two cups of tea and four and a half biscuits! Honestly, some people!
Sorry to ramble on a bit, but the BBC-B* was hugely formative for me, I suspect for many others (including DBOBE), and it seems to me now, it was a product designed and built to a quality for a big reason - teaching children and other assorted yoof about computers and computing. And you could well argue that without the Beeb we wouldn't be here mithering on about the merits of Homer's Odyssey. And cats. Blam, what a hullabaloo!
* Terribly Good Chap.
* For those not from the UK, the BBC-B was made by Acron Computers in conjunction with that BBC (the (very wonderful) British Broadcasting Corporation) for their Computer Literacy Project. Acorn then went on to become ARM. DBOBE went on to write a bit of software himself, and be involved in the Raspberry Pi, powered by an ARM chip.

Hooray for hullabalooing!

I find shaking, punching, disassembling and reassembling a standard starting procedure for any device that has been in longer break.
