I hope this isn't too off-topic. It is about Lord Sauron Gates of the dark realm of Microsoft and the CD of Power. Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows on my PC, told him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows CD. To 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. What does the inscription say?" 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 an 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. 4F6E65204F5320746F2072756C65207468656D20616C6C2C204F6E65204F5320746F 2066696E64207468656D2C0D0A4F6E65204F5320746F206272696E67207468656D20 616C6C20616E6420696E20746865206461726B6E6573732062696E64207468656D "I cannot read the fiery letters," I said. "No, there are not many that can." he said, "The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, in the Dark Language of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in the Common Tongue 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." ========================================================= Paul King http://www3.sympatico.ca/pking123/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2003 08:50:17 -0700 (PDT) From: "G.

Did a little surfing, and I think I figured out why the novel isn't credited at IMDb: Sharp adapted it from his own screenplay, so it came out simultaneously with, or possibly after, the film. Perhaps Sarris didn't get that part. Not sure whose idea the Chabrol/Rohmer switch was, though, Andy "Leshhhhh...play a game.

Perhaps Sarris > didn't get that part. Yeah, I found that on the web too. It makes me want to go to a library and find a microfilm of that 1975 Sarris review in the Village Voice, coz I had the impression from the review that the novel came first. Sarris is one of those crazy readers who usually devours the novel before he reviews the movie adaptation. For what it's worth, I saw NIGHT MOVES when it came out, and I'd never heard "watching paint dry" before - I always assumed the phrase came from the movie. - Dan ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 01:48:09 EDT From: AWeiss4338@aol.com Subject: [loud-fans] RN Would some nice person make me a copy of RN.
