Paris at the Hilton

The cameras were clicking away. The atmosphere was tense with expectation. The crowd was exhaling in gasps.

Sleek lines and sexy moves were laid out for all to see as the cat came round the bend. The photographic firepower deployed that night was devastating! This was Paris at the Hilton.

"Over here, baby!"

"Oh yes...! Yes!"

"More! More! More!"

It was certainly worth the wait. As sagging bodies and limp hair-dos sank into their seats, the breath of excitement blew the lethargy out of every one's sails. Immediately leaping to action, mega-buck cameras were drawn and lens caps were uncorked.

The celebrity was none other than Apple's new operating system ten dot five. Though this was a developers release, it turned tricks on a three year-old lamp-shade iMac with 256MB of RAM. It wasn't that responsive but it worked, the hard drive scrambling to serve out virtual memory to a hungry beast.
"Hello boys! Is that a camera lens in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?"

So much attention lavished on an object of plastic, metal and silicon running lines of code, the one remark from Acroamatic said it all "Guys, it's just a computer."
