Lobster Claw

If your visiting Orleans, Massachusetts you should check out the Lobster Claw for lunch or dinner. This popular restaurant is a favorite for local and seasonal visitors to Cape Cod.

I would highly suggest trying the Bake Stuffed Lobster with a cup of Clam Chowder or Steamed Clams as an appetizer. Truly a Cape Cod meal for everyone to enjoy.

Download the Take out menu from 2003, and make sure to visit the Lobster Claw today!

ScanBirk

In 1997, I purchased a ScanBirk desk, model number 124 from Scandinavian Design in Cupertino California. At the time, I was looking for a really nice corner desk, and this seemed to be a perfect fit.

Since 1997, I have moved the desk 3 times, and each time I put together the desk without any problems or even having the directions. The desk is pretty simple to put together quickly.

My latest move had one minor complication, one of the pieces went missing during the move. It was the metal piece that holds the center desk with the end pieces. To solve this, I purchased a couple of metal brackets at Lowe's and was able to replace the pieces pretty quickly.

If you purchased a ScanBirk corner desk (Model 124) and looking for the installation instructions, download the PDF file I created. This is an easy desk to put together and still looks good more than 10 years later!

Tandy 1000sx

In the 1980s most consumers purchased their computers from Radio Shack. It was pretty much the only store in town that sold computers and computer parts.

Obviously the retail market got crowded as the computer industry took off in the 1990s and 2000s. Today consumers can purchase their computers from various sources including online. Not only is it easy and cheaper to buy computers today, but the technology is much better.

As mentioned in a 1999 promo at MacWorld; today's computers break the laws of physics, they have more features in a smaller box.

Download a page from the Radio Shack 1988 catalog featuring the Tandy 1000sx. Its hard to believe how much computers have changed in just 20 years. Just imagine what the next 20 years will bring.

Centre Pizza

If you are in the Framingham, Massachusetts area you should check out Centre Pizza. You can find this Pizza shop across from Framingham State College.

This pizza place has nice friendly staff and they even have the Red Sox game on to watch while you much on their fine food. I really liked their hamburg pizza and their Plain Cheese Pizza.

The next time your in Framingham, instead of waiting in line at the Food Court, go down to Centre Pizza. You'll have a great selection and the prices is cheaper than anything you can find at the Mall.

Download the Takeout menu and enjoy the various selections that they have to offer. Bonus: Not on this menu is the Spaghetti Pizza, haven't tried it yet but that sounds worth the try!
