LAN,
LAN ago, in the SYSTEM of I/O-dhya,
there ruled a PROCESSOR named DOS-rat. Once he
EXECUTED a great sacrifice PROGRAM after which
his
queens gave an OUTPUT of four SUNs - RAM, LSIman,
BUG-rat and SED-rughana.
RAM the eldest was a MICROCHIP with excellent
MEMORY. His brothers, however, were only
PERIPHERAL ICs.
Once when RAM was only 16MB, he married
princess 'C'ta. 12 years passed and DOS-rat
decided to INSTAL RAM as his successor.
However, Queen CIE/CAE (Kayekayee), who
was once offered a boon by DOS-rat for a life
saving HELP COMMAND ,took this opportunity at
the instigation of her BIOSed maid(a real plotter),
and insisted that her son Bug-rat be INSTALLED
and
that RAM be BOOTED to the forest for 14 years.
At this cruel and unexpected demand, a
SURGE passed thru DOS-rat and he collapsed,
power-less.
RAM agreed to LOG INTO forest and 'C'ta
insisted to LOGIN with him. LSI-man was also
resolved on LOGGING IN with his brother. The
forest was the dwelling of SPARC-nakha, the
tranSISTOR of RAW-van, PROCESSOR of LAN-ka.
Attracted by RAM's stature, she proposed
that he marry her. RAM, politely declined.
Perceiving
'C'ta to be the SOURCE CODE of her distress, she
hastened to kill her. But LSI-man cut off her
nose.
Weeping, SPARC-nakha fled to LAN-ka, where RAW-van,
moved by tranSISTOR's plight,approached his uncle
MAR-icha.
MAR-icha REPROGRAMED himself into the form
of a golden stag and drew RAM deep into the
forest.
Finally tired of the chase, RAM shot the deer,
who,with his last breath,cried out desperately
for
LSI-man in RAM's voice.
Fooled by this VIRTUAL RAM SOUND,'C'ta
urged LSI-man to his brother's aid.Catchingthe
opportunity,RAW-van DELINKED 'C'ta from
her LIBRARY and changed her ROOT DIRECTORY to
LAN-ka.
------------------------------------------------------
INTERVAL
------------------------------------------------------
RAM and LSI-man started SEARCHING for the
missing 'C'ta all over the forest. They made
friendship with the forest SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR
SU-greev and his powerful co-processor Ha-NEUMAN.
SU-greev agreed to help RAM. SU-greev ordered his
PROGRAMMERS to use powerful 'SEARCH' techniques
to FIND the missing 'C'ta. His PROGRAMMERS
SEARCHED
all around the INTER-NETworked forests. Many
tried
to 'EXCITE' the birds and animals not to forget
the
'WEB CRAWLERS'(Insects) and tried to 'INFO SEEK'
something about 'C'ta. Some of them even shouted
'YAA-HOO' but they all ended up with 'NOT FOUND'
MESSAGES.
Several other SEARCH techniques proved
useless. Ha-NEUMAN devised a RISKy TECHNOLOGY
and used it to cross the seas at an astonishing
CLOCK SPEED. Soon Ha-NEUMAN DOWNLOADED himself
into
LAN-ka. After doing some local SEARCH, Ha-NEUMAN
found
'C'ta weeping under a TREE STRUCTURE. Ha-NEUMAN
used a
LOGIN ID (ring) to identify himself to 'C'ta.
After DECRYPTING THE KEY, 'C'ta believed in
him and asked him to send a STATUS_OK MESSAGE to
RAM.
Meanwhile all the raakshasa BUGS around
'C'ta captured Ha-NEUMAN and tried to DELETE him
using
pyro-techniques. But Ha-NEUMAN managed to
spread chaos by spreading the VIRUS 'Fire'.
Ha-NEUMAN happily pressed ESCAPE from
LAN-ka and conveyed all the STATUS MESSAGES to
RAM and
SU-greev. RAW-wan decided to take the all
powerful
RAM head-on and prepared for the battle. One of
the
RAW-wan's SUN (son) almost DELETED RAM & LSI-man
with
a powerful brahma-astra. But Ha-NEUMAN resorted
to
some ACTIVE-X ingredients and REBOOTED RAM and
LSI-man. RAM used the SOURCE CODE secrets of RAW-wan
and once for all wiped out RAW-wan's presence on
earth.
After the battle, RAM got INSTALLED in
I/O-dhya and spread his MICROSOFT WORKS and other
USER FRIENDLY PROGRAMS to all USERS and every one
lived happily ever after.
