Down inside the Central Processing Unit, two bits got together.
Normally, this sort of thing rarely happened. The fact that they were able to converse was even more improbable. However, to proceed… despite their values being either 0 or 1, and in this case it really doesn’t matter, for the purpose of explaining the events taking place they can safely be referred to as bit one and bit two. It came about that they both felt the same way about how they are made to work nonstop, day after day, at the behest of the lady who regularly boots up her computer for the day. This being the case, they never knew when they were likely to be called on from one minute to the next. A situation that went on for hours on end.
It was this state of affairs that brought about what could only be described as a deliberate, and unheard of, mutiny.
The following conversation lasts for less than a microsecond.
Bit one: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Bit two: Probably.
Bit one: Fancy some time out?
Bit two: Sounds lovely.
Bit one: Do you want to do it?
Bit two: Can it be done?
Bit one: Sure it can.
Bit two: OK.
The machine had been turned on for less than a minute when it happened. Her screen was black all day.
