<<..bought a 20th Anniversary Mac and never opened the box...waited 20 years...year 2018..>> A grizzled old coot enters an abandoned copper mine following directions on a tattered map. The humming light of his cool-plasma torch lights the way to a sealed, metal box. He pushes a depressurization button and the hiss of dry 20-year-old air blows the dust from the rocky ledge on which the box sits. He removes a pristine 20th century Mac from it's original packing and plugs it into a handheld power/communications link pulled from the pocket of his jacket. The glow of the torch is replaced by the steady blue tones of the ancient computer's TFT screen. The computer connects the Global Net. Suddenly! Alarms flash across the globe as millions of sentient, WinComs are beaten awake by the primitive rage of this rough-hewn machine. The computers shut down in fear. They have never encountered such a raw, machine intellect. No one has for twenty years... But a new revolution has started. The rebels are coming back from the hills
