The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Personal Interest Stories

A story of young men returning from Libya: "We went there to work and found ourselves accused of Atheism!"

These Algerian youths experienced a spiral of misery and horror during seventeen continuous days of beatings and insults. They went to Libya to work for a "safe" company, but were immediately detained and imprisoned, transferred from one detention center to the next under the worst possible circumstances, accused of the serious charge of "Atheism".
