364"Seven Steps In The Computer Evolution" by The GNN. Everything
evolve, as we all know. Even small pieces of rock actually evolves, but
perhaps not in the common use of the word. Here's a new view of an old
prophecy, just to remind you.
365"The Big C" by Knyttet. Now what could this be? No, it's not Caesar.
Just when your surroundings were looking more soft and pink than ever before,
something like this hits you. Perhaps an uncomfortable piece for some of you.
366"The Can And The Future" by The GNN. Through history man has tried
to get a glance of his or her future. Some looking in coffee-grounds, some
use a sphere of glass. There are some other ways too, however. Don't try this
at home folks, we are professionals... (FLW #71)
367"The Computer Enthusiast" by Phearless. There's more than one way to
skin a cat, they say (who? I don't know, it's just a stupid saying. Ask
someone else, willya?). You can read this in more than one way, but no matter
how you end up reading it, you'll find yourself with the same conclusion.
Boy^H^H^HPerson, was that a hint or what?
368"The Girl And The Robot" by The GNN. Irresponsible young people have
been blamed for a lot of things over the years. This file doesn't really say
anything that differs from this, but please check it out to make sure you've
found your place in life already.
369"My Best Friend" by The Chief. Wow, and I thought I had a tough time
at work... Now I realize that _some_ people have the same problem all of
their living hours. But in a (not so) strange way, I'm sure you'll recognize
yourself.
370"The Secret Actors" by The GNN. Now, we had some very heavy and
intensive discussions with the people described in this file, before we
agreed to release it. Hope this experience doesn't totally flip your
universe.
371"Clipped Short And Back" by Holly Day. Holly Day gives you three of
her poems, including "Clipped Short And Back", "1830 To The End Of The World"
and "My Mother". Each one stands for itself.
372"The Anatomy Of Pseudo-Science" by The GNN. We all know about it, some
of us have seen it and some of us have actually experienced the concept of
pseudo-science. Some take it lightly, some dead serious. Another text to take
sides in.
373"A Letter Never Sent" by Knyttet. Carpe Diem - seize the day. Things
you did can't be undone. Things you didn't do - can be done... Simple rules
for some, but even if you do know about this, you always seem to end up
regretting some of your choices in life.
374"The Crowd And The Stigma" by The GNN. Metaphors are great when
describing things that are hard to explain, or perhaps easily misunderstood.
Metaphors are also great for confusing people who once used to have a
somewhat clear mind...
375"Sucks" by DK. This one might not be for the faint of heart, nor for
the ones who think some things should not be described in detail. The rest of
you, share the thoughts of the characters of this text for a moment.
376"Power Check" by The GNN. Our jury who beta-read all files before
including them in a relase got very upset when reading this one. They were
actually so upset that we had to sack the whole lot of them, steal their
salary for this month and spend it all down at the local pub.
377"Marauder" by The GNN. Authors can be lazy, active or addicts.
Typically, but not as a rule, the addicts are the ones showing the best
productions. I wouldn't say it's because of some special writing skill, nah.
Let me put it like this: if you fired one shot with a revolver at a target a
hundred feet away, or fired five hundred rounds with a machine gun at the
same target... Would the number of bullets hitting the target reflect
the skill of the person's precision shooting skills? In one way, yes. In
another, no... aww, forget it.
378"Sleepy?" by Phearless. A journey into dream land, or an experiment
for and of the mentally challenged? What some of us know, others have to find
out for themselves. Poor sob, I hope he surfaces before the next release.
Meanwhile, his computer makes a good addition to my network for playing
popular gory games.
379"Alienated Relationships" by The GNN. Take a look around, do the
couples you see (or know) look happy? Look sad? Angry? Crazy? Well, to make
things easier for you to recognize the different kinds of relationships,
The GNN wrote down the characteristics of a few of them.
380"uXu Index #26" by Bravemoore. It has all you are looking for.
Listings: all released files so far, detailed one for release #26,
the distribution sites (FTP/BBS/Gopher) and information how to contact
the uXu. You can even find out the pluralis form of "index," which is
"indice."
[#380 also includes an index for the uXu-S series]
