Silicon Valley Guy "Hey, anybody seen my beeper?" Valley Guy, He's a Valley Guy A Silicon Valley Guy Clip-on Tie And tennis shoes Thinks he's lit But he's blown a fuse Hangs out at The Radio Shack Buying chips For his Univac He's a ... Nah, that ones' not mine ... Well, anyway, it was complete chip burnout with floppy disk failure. A real total system dump, y'know? Fer certain ! And I told the output user, Hey? Would I delete my OWN PROGRAM? Come on, man -- don't call me, call P.G. & E! Go somewhere and have a melt-down, man. Like, BURN OUT! Then I went down to the Shack to get some subminiature dip relays. and get this -- The salesman gave me a NEW plastic pocket protector! Look out, Intel, here he comes. He's the king of computer runs Got his degree from MIT Knows square roots to infinity. I scanned that new program down in word processing - the one with the huge mammary banks... Yeah, Julie! Punch my code! I am certain! When I first saw here, I thought, Whoa! Give me a microsecond! Could I trip her Kipp relay, or what? She sort of smiles at me, and I'm thinking, I have GOT to access this chick. But should I go subroutine or main program, you know? So I just subtly invade her spatial arena and introduce myself for starts... Hi... I'm Ray FIFO... So after a few casual edit statements I can tell this unit really digs me. I mean, it is modem to the max -- the program computes, right? We make plans to meet at her place. and I get there and's ON LINE, I mean, like she's wearing all this softwear. I'm calculating the access time to her front end processor. and there is phase jitter entering all of my charge coupled devices. Her ambient temperature is rising, and she is alpha fluxing RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES!!! We skipped dinner. After a RAM refresh time interval she says to me, Ray -- I'm all decoded now. I think you better go. And I say, Okay, Program -- I can handle the end sum. And Ray -- she says, I hope you won't delete me in the morning... And I say, Moi? Delete a cute little program like YOU? Hey ! I'm a Silicon Valley Guy! Come here, you catalystic data, you... Give Master Control a little phase jitter... Punch my code! Did I ever show you my cathode ray? It is really TUBULAR. Gag me with a microchip. Hey! Where IS my beeper?
