Once again I was bored so I posted another "You-Robot!" screen in the BaSe 1 PrOdUcTiOnZ folder. It's coming along nicely and is relatively sharing priority...
I added a 4th screen to my pic folder not cos' I was bored this time just because I could. I also had a good laugh at the typos in my last post Oh well these...
