A hill I have managed to not die on over the past few decades is that Toni Basil is so much more than just a one hit wonder, remarkably so, from artist film to Easy Rider to poppin' and lockin' to RuPaul's Drag Race, she's been at the vanguard of counter culture since the early 60s

When I interviewed Toni Basil in 2021 we both marvelled at the fact that no-one had made a movie or documentary of her life. They still haven’t. Plus, if it was a movie she’d be able to choreograph her own life story.

I’ve done a lot of endurance comedy things; I performed for 36 hours once. But this is maybe the most ill-advised undertaking I have ever seen. Fair play.

Word processors used to be an appliance. (Source.)
A magazine ad showing the Hyper7. It's a dedicated word processor all-in-one, with a PS/2 keyboard, a monochrome backlit LCD monitor device left, twin vertically mounted 3.5" floppies device right, and a thermal printer device rear. The screen on the device shows a multi-application operating system, including word processor, spreadsheet, rolodex, drawing program, graphing program, disk utility, telecommunications terminal, and tutorial. The only thing it's lacking is a way to program on the thing.
