If There Were Computers in 1776
- Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen, the summer grows hot, and it is essential
that we complete this declaration of independence.
- Mr. Franklin: Wait a minute, Thomas. I have to reboot here.
- Mr. Jefferson: That's all right, Ben. We'll go on without you. Has
everyone had a chance to look at the draft I posted yesterday?
- Mr. Sherman: Not yet, Thomas, I've been having Notes replication
problems.
- Mr. Adams: Here, Roger, I brought a hard copy.
- Mr. Sherman: Thanks. Saaaaay, nice font.
- Mr. Adams: Do you like it? I downloaded it off Colonies Online
just last week.
- Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen! There is work to be done. I fear our
document will soon leak out.
- Mr. Livingston: Too late, Thomas. There's already a bootleg
circulating. I saw it posted on alt.georgeIII.sucks last night.
- Mr. Franklin: @#$$%^$# General Protection Fault!
- Mr. Adams: Ben, you might try upgrading to Windows 75. It
solved that problem for me.
- Mr. Sherman: Thomas, the part here about the Acts of Pretended
Legislation; have you considered using bullets to air out the text?
- Mr. Jefferson: I can fix that easily enough. Drat! I've spilled
candle wax on my keyboard again.
- Mr. Adams: You know, Thomas, that wouldn't happen if you'd buy an
active-matrix screen.
- Mr. Franklin: Hard-disk failure?!? Aw, criminy!
- Mr. Livingston: Are you sure it's "unalienable rights"? My
spell checker recommends "unassailable".
- Mr. Jefferson: Can we stick to the substance of the document,
please? Shoot. Low battery. Anyone got a spare power cable?
- Mr. Sherman: What have you got, a Toshiba? No, mine isn't
compatible.
- Mr. Franklin: Hello, PCs Philadelphia? What does it mean when
the floppy drive buzzes? OK, I'll hold.....
- Mr. Livingston: The "In Congress" part here at the top; have
you thought about blowing that up really big and maybe
centering it in 72 point Helvetica?
- Mr. Jefferson: Not a bad idea. Aw, nuts! Word macro virus!
I can't save the file.
- Mr. Franklin: That's all right, Thomas. We can manage. Here,
borrow my quill pen....
