- Ekho picks up something which has been described as "a box of wires and
- flashing lights" and places it on the table next to her. With a look of
- utter innocence she queries it, "ORAC, why are all computers male?"
-
- The box of lights flashes and whirrs, attempting to keep from answering
- but finally is forced to respond seeing as Ekho programmed it to. "I do not
- know, why are all computers male?"
-
- The innocent look is replaced by an evil grin, "Because you always have to
- tell it what to do."
-
- The box gives a final whine and shuts itself off...
-
- Yours in Time and Space
