I programmed her instead. She will be at the forefront of my imperial army, serving as high priestess to my followers... er... wait, I'm not an Atreides. Strike that.

Damn Andrei how old are you? I was a whopping 2 years old. No programming for me. First it was the Mac SE and now this. Man some people really just have too much time. 1982?!?!?
