Tablets and smartphones are great kitchen computers, as long as you remember to clean and disinfect them before any food preparation.
Is there anything in Corning's marketing about using smart thingies as cutting boards?

I know that it was a joke but I still poked around to see if I could find any DDP-116 recipe software because the DDP-116 (H316) is available in simh.
Didn’t find any.

ohmuhgawd! that picture of the computer thing in the kitchen where it takes up all the space is so amazeballs funny. nobody would actually do this for anything other than a picture
