- "It was hot in Silicon Valley that day,"
- but business was ice cold.
- ^
- I had been sitting in my office all
- afternoon killing time and alien
- invaders on my Apple II computer.
- ^
- "I'm Sherlock Capslock, one of the best"
- private eyes in the valley.
- ^
- "Suddenly, there was a knock at the"
- door. I got my ten toes off the
- "desk and said, 'Come in!'"
- ^
- Excuse me. Are you Mr. Capslock?
- ^
- "Yeah, that's me. What can I do for you?"
- ^
- "Well, I'm glad I've found you. I'm"
- "Nancy Novice, and I've just had a"
- little accident with my Apple II
- computer.
- ^
- What happened? Lose some important data
- or something?
- ^
- That's right. I was typing
- something this morning and suddenly
- the power went off--before I could
- print anything.
- ^
- And then I heard this strange
- laughter. Like somebody had done it
- intentionally. What's going on?
- ^
- "Well, it looked like Ms. Novice had"
- had a run-in with that creep Blacky
- Powerout. But I didn't want to
- alarm her. So I just said...
- ^
- "Listen, Ms. Novice, there's a lot"
- going on. But I'll get you set up so
- you won't have to sit through a rerun of
- this morning.
- ^
- Really? What are you going to do?
- ^
- Just step over here to my desk. I'm
- going to give you the inside story on
- the Apple II computer.
- ^
- "Press RETURN for Sherlock's inside tour"
- " or"
- " ESC to go back to the menu."
