"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a computer."

"It was the best of operating systems, it was the worst of operating systems it was the purchase of wisdom, it was the purchase of foollishness, it was the software of belief, it was the software of incredulity, it was the hardware of Light, it was the hardware of Darkness, it was the motherboard of Hope, it was the motherboard of Darkness, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the purchase was so far like the present purpose that some of its noisest authorities insisted on it being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
