Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, payed 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:

'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
