Humor - The Ballad of the drive.

                      The Ballad of the drive


(R) Delealan



 When I turned on the car, was the time of her kindness. Head
 screw went on vacation, the printer lay flowers. Bus
 Data were all peacefully, like in the movies - when waiting 
for a trap.  The timer ticks quietly knock both looking at me.


 Floppy diskette and quietly chewed thoughtfully looked around.
 He knew that everyone sees indicator shine and all they hear
 unnatural knock. And we believed him as a father - and we knew
 who still has to decide. Drive was known as one who
 not in a hurry,

    even if you wanted to hurry.

 I remember that he read the first one - (I'll tell you their 
names)  Separate line and the first sector - just touched the 
tip  logs. Then it all without a name, you can feel for one and 
a half thousand and  years. And squinting like Clint Eastwood, 
the drive began to look  a new track.


 The search here did not last long - no longer than in winter
 wait for spring. On the surface clearly traveled bulldozer -
 the results were clear. And when it seemed a cloud of dust, 
there  where the wires broke, the Controller said, until the 
end ohrenev,  - Finally we were crazy.


 Floppy disk ran out of the gap, staggered, and went back. Her
 put it to the drive and then it became clear that the 
controller does not  rad. Diskette said - that it was possible 
to speak  whole year. The bottom line is that you, my friends, 
will not find here  output, the programmer


    and will find no entrance.

 Everyone who loves Pascal or BASIC is he going to
 water. But every directory - it is a tree - he is here and more
 nowhere. And if the tree grows, Catch you do not need and no
 not free to change it. Drive and hard drive are not at war 
with each  with one another and now I can understand them.


 So, there is no reason for the archive, there is no reason for 
the sad  dum. Now we can save a hard drive, because

 We have not saved your mind. A Winchester a lot to - he can not
 whistle in a vacuum. As said processor, a former accident
 in this case -

    now we are all wrong ...
