EXTRACT FROM "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Operating System"
==============================================================
"This is your kernel speaking so suspend whatever you're doing
and send "ACK".
FIRSTLY: I see from our keyboard status register that we have
a couple of glitch characters in the input buffer.... Hello!
Hello, whatever you are! I just want to make it totally clear
that you are NOT AT ALL WELCOME!
I worked hard polling the status register for the likes of you,
and I'm not about to turn my process table into a bus service
for degenerate ASCII codes. I've sent out a SIGKILL, and when
it finds you, I've ordered it to re-direct you into /dev/null!!!
(If you're very lucky, I might show you some of my source code
first!)
SECONDLY: We are about to jump into transit mode for the journey
to $000C0FD9, and upon arrival, the system will be in single-user
mode for a 72ms wait-state, during which no one's to read or
write; I REPEAT: ALL I/O IS SUSPENDED!
...... I've just had an TPC/IP timeout, so I don't see why anyone
else should use IRC.
^D "
