This is almost a parody of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation

Ouch! :-(

This is NOT what IT is supposed to be...


Reminds me of much more creative days where at least you got some
technology busting DemoScene wizardry to push the technology into the

Who needs 640k?... :-/

And this today is on multi GHz multi core CPU superpower and 200Mbit/s
internet... Phah!

Painful :-(

Now to get back to what I was more usefully doing...
