...has the "cloud era, of course, made computing vastly easier" ? Must have been in one of the 32 MCU movies that I missed.

As someone else commented. It sounds like she isn't comfortable being around the kinds of males who would gatecrash such an event. She may have no qualms being around the rest of us.

The Tandy Model 100 was one of the last laptops with a decent keyboard, unfortunately. Anything since varies between god-awful and revolting.

Or if it does, then it needs to be towed outside the environment :)

One more reason to carry your C64 around with you everywhere you go.

Naturalization == US citizen. The only difference is that they would have become US citizens by virtue of naturalization and not birth. If they are naturalized then they will already have sworn an oath.

I think you mean that your relatives are 'Permanent Residents', in other words they have green cards. Being a permanent resident is not the same as becoming naturalized.

"A citizen of the United States loses U.S. citizenship by becoming a citizen of a foreign country unless a special exception is made by the State Department. A person can also lose U.S. citizenship for serving in the armed forces of, or holding office in, a foreign government. U.S. citizenship can also be taken away from people who have been convicted of a major federal crime, such as treason. But people cannot lose their citizenship for something they were forced to do. A person who is forced to serve in a foreign army, for example, will not lose U.S. citizenship."

An advanced civilization must be militarily advanced. If only to not have their asses kicked by less ethically advanced civilizations.

Ha. The joke is on you. You have obviously not yet watched "Space Buddies".
