"Communications tech is the most important advance in the provision of justice since we first suggested maybe not murdering each other. Most Westerns are based on the idea of riding a horse until you find someone who's even heard of the guilty party, then riding further to find one who hasn't been shot. Nowadays you can call in crimes from anywhere, and in our efficient techno-world many criminals save everyone time by using phones to catch themselves. If phones were any more effective in reducing crime they'd be Robocops, but the authorities don't always have the best ideas for using these intuitive devices we all carry around with us."

That in itself was exceedingly odd, but it got stranger. Their apparent purpose: to demonstrate the lengths to which algorithms built into Intel's Pentium chips had compensated for the completely cockeyed way Windows loaded itself each time at startup. The implicit message: See what we have to put up with?

The once mighty Wintel cartel has been good in many ways for the PC industry. Like industrious worker bees on amphetamines, Intel's engineers pushed Moore's law to the max, cranking out generation after generation of processors, each smaller and more powerful than the last. Microsoft obliged by churning out new operating systems, each more bloated and resource intensive than the last
