-
- In a perfect world, S-max and Andrew.BAS would be
- mission commanders on the space shuttle, but due to the
- ineptitude of Fate, the computer hardware engineer and the
- programmer wind up working for a government defense
- contractor instead. When they lose their jobs, thanks to
- the hardware hacker's shenanigans, they start a high-tech
- company.
-
- "The Adventures of Lone Wolf Scientific" is a bi-weekly
- chronicle of a computer startup where technological
- innovation never comes without a measure of chaos. In the
- coming months, you'll meet S-max, Lone Wolf Scientific's
- Macchiavellian Head of Hardware who plots to change the
- world with his Rube Goldbergish inventions, his soft-spoken
- programmer sidekick, Andrew.BAS, who names all his programs
- after successful Apollo flights, and Congressman Boris Q.
- Popinrath, a technology gunho politician who finds in Lone
- Wolf Scientific the only reason he can give constituents to
- re-elect him.
-
- "The Adventures of Lone Wolf Scientific" is an
- electronically syndicated series. New installments appear
- every two weeks (barring any misadventures on the part of
- the author) on better computer bulletin boards and
- electronic online services everywhere.
