 I was hanging out in a SCSI bar.  A loud bandwidth played in the
 corner.

 I gave the place a binary search.  I saw a little chip in the corner.
 She SIMMed like a pro.  I traversed over to her.

 She pressed her Apples against me.  "Hey, Mac, do you have a hard
 drive?"

 "No, only a floppy," I replied.

 "Well, then you need an Amiga," she sed.

 "Vi?"

 "Well, if I was your Amiga, we could interface."

 We went to a motel on a VESA local bus.

 The motel was SCSI-2.  It needed to be debugged.

 "So, how much is this going to cost me?"  I queried.

 She added it up right away.  She had a mind like a...like a....
 She could add really fast.

 She stripped her binaries.  It was quite a procedure.

 "I'm going to turn your software into hardware," she transmitted.

 She started to spreadsheet.

 "So, are you ready to RAM?" she called.

 I had been auditing everything.  I sent a signal.  It was time for
 the trap.

 All the agents burst through the gateway.  My manager was with them.

 "Awk!  It's a RAID!" she sed.

 "Don't arrest me!  I'm a motherboard!  How will I explain this
 to my Sun?"

 The agents were not responding.  They got ready to stop her process.

 She was getting desperate.  "Hey, I could do a favor for all of you.
 I'm fully multitasking."

 It didn't work.  We're all UNIX.
