My dad bought it with the stated intent of writing a program that would display ASCII art associated with a keypress, to help me learn the alphabet and reading (e.g., pressing "A" would have brought up an ascii art apple). He claimed that he was only able to make it halfway through the alphabet before running out of storage on the cassette tape.
He would later go on to be a sysadmin at Cleveland FreeNet (as a hobby), and in the early 1980s was the first principal to put a "computer lab" in our local high school.
I have many fond memories of playing Munch Man (and, I think, Parsec) on this home computer.

Thats what happened. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Should the president have an ex post facto veto for everything? That sounds more like an autocracy to me.
On the other hand, you have the anti-DOGE folks who can credibly claim that, unless shown otherwise, the things being shredded by DOGE were apportioned legally by a co-equal branch of government, and that the president does notnhave the right to undermine a co-equal branch of government. In America, we do not have an all-powerful executive.
My boss insisted that we include other team members on our patent apps, even if they were not involved, as a way of improving morale. (It backfired. No one on the team who eas uninvolved wanted a patent they didnt earn. No one who earned the rigjt to be named on the patent app felt it was right to include non-inventors.)
Good day, sir.
