Let me be the first to wish you all
a very happy new Millenium. It's the
year 2000 at last. Silverette clothes
are mandatory but retro red LED 
accoutrements are optional.

[Checkout the Klax™ blocks for new visual and textual goodies.]

This stuff you see, it's only data converted into colours.
Data is only a bunch of integers.
Integers are quite straightforward to deal with. And computers
are dumb enough to want to chew them all day like cows in a
field of green-minded computer students.

Can something new and exciting be done?
Can we escape the gravitational pull of integers?

I have one idea, but it's so retro that it's laughable.

This picture is data. And the next one. It's enough to
make you want to kill yourself. Bloody georgeous to look
at though. Oh yes - that's the whole point of this stuff.

The red ones I think. Yes, that's right.

BRACHEISSE TORON

All our vision of future has gentle coloured fringes that
should be welcomed into our daily-thoughts.

Only psychopath burn floppydisk without tears.
You can't spin it fast enough by hand - that is why you buy computer.
Wet data forced to edge like salad-spinner by special force.
Fire unzips data into steam, vapor. (sic)
Some warping of substrate, inner sterile sleeve.
No, not repairable. Need to replace whole module in one go.
Risk of electric shock? Yes, of course! It's designed that way for special reason!


PREY UNTIL EYES BLEED

Amiga emulator executable data visualised. It's like standing at the beach,
looking out at the waves come in, and they make diffraction patterns due
to the increasingly shallow water - this causes more drag, reducing the
speed, so the wavelength has to change. Something like that. The world is
amazing when you're a kid, it's all bright blue skies and stripey t-shirts.
I am 4.

LOW-DENSITY DESTINY = FLOATING FUTURE

Video card cruddiness gave birth to this. The brown colouring-in
is entirely my fault. I sign all receipts in my special big brown crayon.
You should see the funny looks I get. People!

Still hungry? Kids! Have a barium meal but then it's straight to bed.
Don't forget to set your counter for 8 Siefert sharp. (CEDE unknown)
