"The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships, motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day I got in...
It turns out The Grid is just a guy sitting in a chair, shouting about "Fizz!" and "Buzz!" as fast as he can.
It wasn't really what I had in mind.
(The image of this poor program, stuck shouting "fizz!" and "buzz!" for subjectively centuries at a time struck me...)
