Life with a cat that uses speech buttons:

Me: *watching TV while exercising*

Poppy taps in quick succession: "Love" + "TV" + "Poppy"

Me: *sighs and changes the channel over to birds so she can watch her show*

Poppy: *trots over and sits down in front of tv to watch* 

-Why are you wearing a mask?

-It's the condition of my inheritance from a wealthy, eccentric uncle.

-Surely you don't need to wear it if he's not around.

-You think a wealthy eccentric wouldn't have his heirs under constant surveillance?

-You can't need money that bad.

-My mother needs an operation.

-What a cruel man to not pay for his sister's operation!

-He's my father's brother.

-How unfair to be caught up in that. Take a stand! Take off your mask!

-...my uncle sent you, didn't he?

Does anyone have a copy, either physical or digital, of the original system software floppy disk that shipped with day 1 Macs in 1984?

Various fakes cobbled together from later versions exist on the web, but in years of looking I've never found an *actual* first version system software disk.

If you have a real one, I’d be very happy to image it and make it available. If someone has already done so, I'd love to find the image from it.
