Baby,
baby!
Guess what? A desert turned into a flourishing field of dinosaur computer components. I bet you that this is the legendary Silicon Canyon. For a moment there I thought I was in heaven because spreading over miles around me, I was looking at screens, keyboards, hard drives of any kind you can think of. I counted over 1,000,002 LEDs, blue ones too, and all brand names. I dug RAM, SIMMS, DIMMS, GIMMS, FIMMS, DAMS, NAMS, cables, adapters, conductors, resistors + chips, nips and flips of any sort in any length, and the highlight—YES! YES! YES! THE HIGHLIGHT...was an IBM Supercomputer! And if I wasn't sure I was alive, I would surely think I was in heaven. You understand, of course, the incredible value of this find. Despite the fact that many of these objects are severely damaged by the weather, lying here on the ground in front of me is the history of the InfoNet Age. I can't even imagine where to begin. And if I wasn't sure I was alive, I would surely think I was in heaven. Oh, oh, oh, pirates' life for me! After I caught my breath I decided to take care of the software that was hanging around. You know, its softness makes it more perishable. Retrieving them as gently as I could, I plugged myself in and sucked on them, sucked their code out—graphic applications, databases, word processors, electronics, 3D modeling. I found a whole library of CD-ROMs, 270 sharewares and 207,850 different typefaces (fonts) + all versions of Netscape since Mosaic. And if I wasn't sure I was alive, I would surely think I was in heaven. Oh, oh, oh, pirates' life for me! I saw the logo: MICROSOFT, several times but I couldn't quite put it in the right context. If I wasn't sure I was alive, I would surely think
I was in heaven. Yours forever
