BOT-2000 Survives the Cray
'BLUE MOUNTAIN' interface!
Despite over-clocking its CPU to solve the Y2K
crisis, Bot 2000 was
treated and released Sunday from Bell Labs Online Emergency Clinic. Bot
2000 is resting comfortably at home engaging in art projects for rest and
relaxation.
- M.I.T Doctor Bob Dogz says: "Its
remarkable! Bot 2000 was crispy critters! Apparently its liquid nitrogen super-cooled system maintained the Bots
integrity. Since liquid nitrogen is not magnetic perhaps this a clue to why Bot 2000's magnetic personality stayed intact."
- VNR Shrink Bot is concerned: "It's hard to say
what went through its chipy lil mind at the point of interface. Bot 2000 will need extensive Digitaltherapy and Tech Support to overcome the trauma. Other than its
feeble art attempts, it's doubtful that Arbitrary Seek Sites Bot
2000 will ever be
able to link seriously again."
- 14 year old X-Games super Skater 'Tango' Bullets says: "Like ...it
was really cool! I'm gonna do that!"
- Questions go unresolved. VNR

Botis worried:
"If Bot 2000 is at home doing art...who
or what is
linking for VNR?"
