Imagine...you're in an open architecture flying through space at unbelievable
bandwidths...you're being bombarded by Alpha-waves...suddenly you realize that
your perception has had it now, your world class paradigms start breaking down,
falling into shards of poor leadership at your feet is what used to be best in
class digital philosophies.....an alien vessel, in the shape of a Porsche
appears out of nowhere and fires one TFSO (Thermonuclear Fast-Spinning Object)
after another...you see the bodies of colleagues being flung into the far
reaches of the universe....you tug frantically on your value chain trying to
affect some change of course, but to no avail...

| imagine we start up where we left off...
....the alien ship approaches and you notice the dreaded knight from the dark
side of the force, Robert the Rapid from the planet Mostek is at the helm...
your hit with another salvo of TFSOs...the platforms under your feet begin to
break away...you fall, tumbling down....down...down-siezing any opportunity to
stop your fall, but there are just no solutions left...you hit bottom, your
broke, totally drenched in red ink, but you realize the fight is not over,
Robert the Rapid and his Wizards of Finance will be boarding the ship soon...
your not a religious person, but in spite of the fact that all your prophets
are gone you know that you've got to do the right thing...you pull your KO-gun
out of your holster, and brace yourself for the worst...

| imagine we're back where we left off...
...you notice that your KO-gun is low on energy...you look around for reserve
energy, but can't seem to find a package...then you notice one laying under
some wreckage, the new packages aren't as big as the old ones, but you hope
that it will still give you enough energy to fight off the hard times to
come...you hear a large roar and a vast door opens up in front of you, the
massive storage around you takes a quantum leap into the far reaches of space...
Robert the Rapid steps through the opening with a sly grin, he draws his
digital phase-out, before you can raise your KO-gun he DECks you, when it
comes to phase-outs he always was competent to the core...everything around
you is spiraling downwards, you've virtually lost touch with reality....

| imagine we're back where we left off...
...you slowly start to come to, but everytime you think that you're going to
get enough information to know where you stand, things fade into the dis-
tance...you keep hearing loud explosions...you look through your windows and
realize that the Wizards of Finance are removing large portions of the ship via
out-sorcery...you've got to get back to the core before they reach the part of
the ship where you're being held captive...you break open the control panel by
the door...RATS!!! there are solid and dotted wires running criss-crossed from
one function to another, how will you manage to get it working?...you'll have
to completely reorganize everything, but times running out...you take a module
and go to mark it, but you doubt that it will do much to help you...nothing
that you do directly seems to work, so you try to go indirectly...suddenly the
door opens, you wander out into the hall and consult a digital display to find
out where you are, but the Computer Sciences Corp hasn't updated the networked
information, so it's hard to pinpoint your location...

| Hi Mike,
Something better to do than having fun? I don't know if I can imagine that.
But, seriously, if there's no interest in a continuation I'll quit. If
there is interest, then you'll just have to hit Next Unseen. Fair enough?
Unless, of course, the moderators would rather not have this topic in the
conference at all...

Weiter so, Rob!
Wer weiss wie lange wir noch ueber das Medium Notes Spass haben
koennen.
Klaus
For the English speaking audience (executive summary):
As long as Notes is still there - use it for fun.

Rob,
More...more! Puts me in mind of Flash Gordon serials, Saturday
matinees, cheap popcorn and "wait till next week"!

Jan, you don't want to contemplate the alternative!

| 3246.11 | let's see what our hero is up to this week... | DREUL1::rob | Rob Marshall - Customer Service Dresden | Thu Aug 04 1994 11:41 | 18 |
| imagine we're back where we left off...
...you begin to piece some information together and discover that Robert
the Rapid has only got two major divisions in his corp...according to the
diagram, there are other units that have been re-ported directly to the top
...but one has been multi-vaporized, and is being run by Rambo...one is
only accessible from the peripheries...the last unit is where they make
all the ships...it's not going to be easy to find your way out of this
mess you're in...you can always hope that some advanced technology will
help you in the future, but just how is a real stretcher of the imagination
...for whatever it's worth, you're not going to sell out, you're going to
keep looking forward...suddenly a valuable proposition presents itself
...what if you simply would remove the entire matrix?...with straight
lines it should be a lot easier to figure out where you have to go, at
least it would take less checking, and cross checking...so you set
yourself to the task...
