Our Program, who art in memory. Hello be thy name. Thy operating system come,
 thy command be done, at the printer as they are on the screen. Give us 
  this day our daily data, and forgive us our errors as we forgive those  
   whose logic circuits are faulty. Lead us not into frustration, and 
    deliver us from power surges. For thine is the algorithm, 
     the application, and the solution, looping forever and ever. 
                      Return.
