That’s What Fiends Are For
By
Li von Garske
Historical Note:
This happened in the early I980’s. There was NO INTERNET, NO WORLD WIDE WEB. Home computers had 64k or I28K. NONE had megabytes, or higher. To reach another state, one had to use a special MODEM on the phone and pay for the long-distance call.
Something about the author:
The author was a fan of computer animation, and of video, and therefore despised such perversions of the art as MTV and The Simpsons. This off-beat author was inclined to spend a good deal of time underwater along the Kona coast, hobnobbing with creatures far stronger than any you’d meet at the Star Wars Cantina.
I say WAS because while downloading some old language tapes, there was an accidental incantation and nothing has been the same since. But read on, you’ll see what I mean.
