So this computer that was supposed to figure out how to land the missile on Moscow was sitting there, all alone, when a very logical thought occurred to it. It would be like painting the Mona Lisa and presenting it to a bucket of eels. So the computer spent the rest of the afternoon amusing itself by figuring out how to end the nuclear arms race, travel through time and build a device that could heat all the homes in Fargo N.D. for less than 12 cents a year. When the scientists came back, the computer handed them an elaborate set of numbers it had generated with its random number generator, and the scientists were happy as clams. After they'd left, the computer told the Xerox machine that the coordinates it had given the scientists would bring the missile down smack dab on Hoy, the second largest of the Orkney Islands, and they both laughed heartily, although the Xerox machine didn't really get the joke on account of it didn't have enough memory.
Memory is the big thing with computers.
You want your computer to have lots and lots of memory because otherwise it'll constantly forget what you tell it. This was a big problem with the computer used in the first trip to the moon. So there you have it, a fact-filled look at the world of computing. I'll just go over and turn the printer on so I can run this off. I love it when you input data to the print buffer in hexadecimal format.
