- WRONG-O, DWEEB-FACE!! This shows how LITTLE you know about
- BLAZE-PC. Maybe it's true on all those other, WIMPY PSEUDO-COMPUTERS
- that you TAKE TO BED every night, but NOT for the One True Computer,
- BLAZE-PC.
-
- You see, BLAZE-PC uses *exactly* 1,000 bytes per kilobyte. This is
- the way that computers were MEANT to be built. If GOD had intended
- computers to have 1,024 bytes per kilobyte, HE/SHE would have given us
- SIXTEEN FINGERS!! Powers of ten are the ONLY way to go, and in fact account
- partly for BLAZE-PC's MIND-BLOWING SPEED.
-
- And now, for all you other LOSERS who keep asking about BLAZE-PC's
- graphics resolution (which we didn't mention), it should be totally OBVIOUS
- what the answer is. NO, it's not 1024x1024 or some other BLAZEPHEMOUS
- resolution. In fact, BLAZE-PC's graphics resolution is 10x10!! Yes,
- ten pixels by ten pixels. You see, BLAZE-PC is SO POWERFUL that even
- with 100 pixels, it BLOWS THE COMPETITION OUT OF THE WATER!! Each pixel
- can have over 100,000 different colors SIMULTANEOUSLY, and can be SIZED
- from infinitely small all the way up to cover the entire screen! These
- pixels are SO VERSATILE that it requires only 2 pixels to display the
- MONA LISA!! And it's INDISTINGUISHABLE from the ORIGINAL PAINTING!!!
- (In fact, one morning we discovered a dead art thief on the floor by
- our computer. He tried to cut out the painting using a knife, and hit
- a capacitor. Poor Poopsie.)
