NOTE TO READER (you): This is the first of a brandy-spankin' new series!!!
<APPLAUSE> The idea was originally Douglas Adams's, which evolved into his
series, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Well, this will do no such
evolving. This series is dedicated, each episode, to tell a story from a
point in time (the date will be showed at the beginning) to the day when
the earth ends...in a funny sort of way.

Place: Minisoft HQ, Washington, USA
Multi-billionare Bill Gates lauged a Totally Evil Laugh(tm). He was
now worth about 85 billion dollars. The computer industry lay before him,
as his slave. All major computer companies were owned by him, and him
alone. he was happy, as would you be, if YOU had 85 REALLY REALLY big ones
to kick around! he tapped a few keys on the Minisoft ErgoKey keyboard, and
clicked once with the Minisoft MentaMouse mouse, and The Plan(tm) lit up on
the Minisoft Tridee monitor in front of him. He lauged again.
The Plan(tm) would work perfectly. The only remaining company to
rival Minisoft was Netscope Communications, and they held the most
important piece, the World Wide Web. The Plan(tm) was developed by the most
devious politicians in the nation, and checked over by the president's wife
herself. It was a nasty plan to incorporate a small worm into a beta
version of Netscope Navigation 7.0Pro, to eat through the Web and replace
ALL copies of Netscope with Minisoft Internet Excavator, Minisoft's
inferior web browser. Gates's top programmers worked on it right now, and
it would not fail...he would be the greatest computer guy in the
universe!!!

In a small cubicle deep in the bowels of Minisoft, Greg Jarvis
typed furiously. "How dare he," he thought "to introduce a worm like
that.".....he would show him...everything was ready.....

In a small cubicle deep in the bowels of Netscope, Mike Scobee
typed furiously. "How dare he," he thought "to introduce a worm like
that.".....he would show him...everything was ready.....

Three days later, the worm was sent on its way around the internet.
The consequences were horrible. The worm had done its job, all right. One
of Gates's mistakes had been to have the worm eat ALL refrences to
Netscope, because due to some tampering by an unknown person, the worm ate
itself through the MentaMouse port, and into everyone's mind. This would
not be bad, except that on the same day, a worm was introduced from
Netcsope, and it had the same results, and a reversed objective; to eat all
references to Minisoft. And due to the tampering, the worms entered a human
brain and destroyed it while destroying references to the other.
What's that? The earth is still there? Well, by this time, the
entire earth is run by a supercomputer (using Netscope, but built by
Minisoft). When this computer was used as a distributing hub for BOTH
worms, it annihalated the computer's circuts, and the computer somehow
found the self-destruct button...........
