And is his computer an "IBM" or a "macintosh"? Or "neither"? An old "Apple" or "TI"? Or maybe one of the el-cheapo web "machines"? Does it have any "Microsoft" software on it?

And, though he may not have any Microsoft products, what about partnered games like "Age of Empires"? Probably doesn't have "Diablo" or any other "intense" game though. But hey, if he wanted them could he go to "Warez" and "Download" and "hack" them?

But might he have a pet "iguana"?

Okay. Time for another crack at this.

Can he take an "IV"? "Dive" in a pool? If he is "unconscious", can he be "revived"? Is his computer able to "multiply" and "divide"?

Can he wear "gloves", cook on a "stove"? Would it be true to say that "I'm" in the box, if we didn't count the apostrophe?
