Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, payed me a visit.
As we were talking I mentioned having recently installed
Windows 98 on my PC and that I am very happy with this
operating system. I also showed him the Windows 98 CD, to 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 then on the inner edge of the central hole I saw an
insсription; an insсription finer than anything I have ever seen
before. The insсription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote,
as if out of a great depth:
4F6E65204F5320746F2072756C65207468656D20616C6C2C204
F6E65204F5320746F2066696E64207468656D2CDA4F6E65204F
5320746F206272696E67207468656D20616C6C20616E6420696
E20746865206461726B6E6573732062696E64207468656D
'I cannot understand the fiery letters,' I said.
'No,' he said 'but I can. 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.
