let's play: will it boot???

the contestant enters the stage, much cheering; wooping etc.

the person approaches the old 286 and flips the switch--it whirs!!

... click, click, a grinding noise...

it booted!!!!!!

the crowd is completely beside themselves. they are practically riotous:

... that's right, contestant number 12, you win a whole day with richard stallman!

the contestant fans themselves from shock, they are clearly overwhelmed. their eyes roll backwards--everyone on stage rushes towards them--within a split-second they have hit the deck. they have fainted.

see you next time on: will it boot???
