Elmer - Re: "Paul has seen him wandering the streets begging for spare change."

Let me correct that.

Fuchi was begging for M2's.

I originally thought he meant M2 as in the M2 MONEY Supply as defined by the Federal Reserve.

Alas, I was wrong.

He was begging for Cyrix M2's.

I told him they were on the endangered species list and the last remaining examples were in a trash bin outside an IBM factory in Burlington, Vt.

However, NSM had a program to reintroduce the species in South Portland, Maine but no living samples have yet been sighted.

After hearing this, Fuchi broke down in tears, mumbling something to the effect " All hope is lost, All hope is lost ".

It broke my heart to see a grown man cry....but I laughed all the way home.
