    A master was explaining the nature of Tao to one of his novices.
    "The Tao is embodied in all software -- regardless of how insignificant,"
    said the master.
    "Is Tao in a hand-held calculator?" asked the novice.
    "It is," came the reply.
    "Is the Tao in a video game?" continued the novice.
    "It is even in a video game," said the master.
    "And is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer?"
    The master coughed and shifted his position slightly. "The lesson
    is over for today," he said.
