"And the Dark Lord made Orcs in mockery of Elves, and Trolls in mockery
of Ents; and he made DOS in mockery of CP/M, and Windows in mockery of
Macs, and NT in mockery of Netware; and he made Excel in mockery of
VisiCalc, and Explorer in mockery of Navigator, and Word in mockery of
WordPerfect; and he made MSNetwork in mockery of America Online; and on
every side his foes fell reeling, defeated one by one as he crushed
them by sheer weight of numbers, his hosts darkening the plain; and in
the twilight years of the Second Millenium the Free Peoples of the West
said, Lo, let us face this pestilence and destroy it, lest he turn all
of Middle-Earth into a nest of foulness. And they forged the One OS,
and they called it Copland; and they gathered their allies, the IBM
Host and the Riders of Motorola, and they prepared for the final
battle."
