This is a story about an ordinary computer
When it was made they found something wrong with it
They threw it away like a piece of rubbish into an old dark storeroom
Then, from outer space, a Clever Man brought it to life with his cosmic dust!

- laumars 6y agoI used to love that show as a kid. But what surprised me was that despite not watching that show in more than 30 years, I still recognised that quote.
- zem 6y agoi have forgotten mostly everything else about the show, but i can still quote the entire intro :) not sure what made it so much more memorable than other cartoon intros of its day, but memorable it was.
- teodorlu 6y agoInteresting that the video uses space alien technology as a name for magic. Just look at that magic, cosmic powder, as it's sprinkled on the teddybear. Is it a coincidence that in Land of Lisp, space aliens help humans, and in SICM, the programmer is a wizard?
