[Warhammer]

(I posted this half a year ago in the books/movie forum, deserves a repost IMO)

Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. As we were
talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows on my PC, I told
him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows
CD. Too my astonishment and distress he threw it into my micro-wave oven
and turned it on. I was upset because the CD had become precious to me,
but he said: 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.' After a few minutes he took
the CD out, gave it to me and said: 'Take a close look at it.' To my
surprise the CD was quite cold and it seemed to have become thicker and
heavier than before.

At first I could not see anything, but on the inner
edge of the central hole I saw a inscription, in lines finer than anything
I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet
remote, as if out of a great depth:

'I cannot read the fiery letters,' I said.
'No,' he said, 'but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but
the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in
common English this is what it says:'One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
