Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a
visit. As we were talking I mentioned that I had recently installed
Windows 95 on my PC, I told him how happy I was with this operating
system and showed him the Windows 95 CD. Too my surprise he threw
it into my micro-wave oven and turned on the oven. 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 a inscription, an inscription finer
than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone
piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:
1213AEBED4FA56F7D7E8EDE09402F9240EE0E50CC9D44AA08324
'I cannot understand the fiery letters,' I said.
'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
