you can’t run Radio Shack programs
in its disc drive.
nor can a Commodore 64
drive read a file

IBM Personal Computer.
both Kaypro and Osborne computers use
the CP/M operating system
but can’t read each other’s

but the wind still blows over

and in the Spring
the turkey buzzard struts and
flounces before his
hens.
