I've been thinking for yrs about how the puter works and visualize the
HD, and hte Burners, and the mother board like all the little zisters,
with electrons, wizzing around doing my bidding, and now you tell me,
theres more than one puter, oohhhhhaaaaa, I'm getting a headache.
Wha'ts up the the file with 500 users, never even noticed it, but of
