1st....hello to all of the BIA people and all thier friends. I know some of you remember me and some probably not. To those I know and to those I don't.......
blessings and good wishes to you and yours
And now a bit of humor.........
Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were talking I mentioned that I had recently
installed Windows XP on my PC. I told him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows
XP CD. To my surprise he threw it into my microwave oven and turned it on. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD
had become precious to me, but he said: "Do not worry, it is unharmed".
After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: "Take a close look at it." To my surprise the CD was
quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner edge of
the central hole I saw an inscription, an inscription finer than anything I had ever seen before. The inscription shone
piercingly bright and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:
12413AEB2ED4FA5E6F7D78E78BEDE820945092OF923A40EElO E5IOCC98D44AA08E324
“I cannot understand the fiery letters”, I said in a timid voice. “No but I can”, he said. “The letters are Hex, of an ancient
mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says:
One OS to rule them all,
One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them.
It is only two lines from a verse long known in System lore:
"Three OS's from corporate kings in their towers of glass, Seven from valley lords where orchards used to grow, Nine from
dotcoms doomed to die, One from the Dark Lord Gates on his dark throne In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie.
One OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Redmond
where the Shadows lie."
It WANTS to be installed
Take care one and all,
Cats
