All of this significantly changes the market for

Pipe dreams. It's all too critical a interdependency of overall
standards in balance with MPU-dependencies, accounting engineering
design and third-party chipset support. No one is interested in
dumbing it down, a few decades into the past, for stick-toy Lego plug-
in computer, one size fits all. This is rocket science, after all, or
ballistics and code-breaking as computers have heralded -- ostensibly,
aides to a new age of augmenting accountability to the miniscule --
and thereby a shifting focus available to modern man, a certain aspect
to defraying tedium for exactitudes, formerly unavailable to thought
processes.

This one size, tableted wonder for superceding, of late, is precisely
consumer oriented. Well-within expectancies and dependencies society
has adapted to a provisionary will and role science, as engineers,
accommodate as Hagel's beneficiary to the commonwealth of all. Life
is so simple and easier if in as inasmuch it's an expectancy and
behest, dare we say, granted and given down to us. There's less to
think upon, actually, to exercise will over discretionary matters not
provided, by course, from advertorial discretion provided by firms
engaged at Madison and 5th. Ave.

The inbred of proclivity. Yes, as once spoken in DOS in concurrent
unison, arise ye to the Banner of Obfuscation, the imposed upon
berated minions beneath a perspicacious consciousness of idioms for
relating to OPERANDS as directives to a machine binary language. What
little Winderz may foal this omnibus of juggernauts. As so it is now,
as the champions toll out before the PC's Death, to espouse and opine
before wris****ch computers in their curiously gawking forms of
vernacular -- B4 we find collective peace in a collective slumbering
insolence, 'R CMe UTubed, be we once more assured, and let us finally
rest -- lest these machines on desktops tax our cumulative conscious
further, and by failure last we dispose all vestige residual to model
WWW III into our own image and likeness.
