The highlight of 03.28.08 Thursday was the coming of the new TOSHIBA photocopier which I immediately took to calling “Megatron,” the Mega Xerox Machine. I’m telling you, the thing is huge and very high tech. It can scan, store, save and even SLEEP. But most importantly, Megatron doesn’t SMELL. Our old copier had this chemical stench—the kind that makes you feel as if you’ll mutate into god knows what the longer you stay there, blasted by suspicious, radioactive elements.
Anyway, another cool thing about Megatron is that it emits a Matrix-green light instead of that blinding white light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel kind. [I can’t think of a better description since NDEs are not out of the question when using ancient photocopying machines].
I’ve partially figured out how to use its uber cool OS. Didn’t pay too much attention during the tech-talk-heavy orientation.
[Yes, Christine, there was an actual orientation.]

Haha! Talk about a behemoth of a photocopier! That better not freeze on you. Good luck!
you know, powerbarnone, it actually froze for a time yesterday, because one of our endearing officemates fed it onionskin paper. :) (which goes to show that to incapacitate a giant, you need to find small chinks in the armor.)
i was wholly amused by this post and truly impressed with the graphic (way to go, paolo.)
now for christine's reply...
something happened to Megatron yesterday?! my poor pet! who fed it? was it animebaby? wahahahha
my claim to fame during Megatron's photoshoot was pressing the START button so he'd emit the green light. under paolo's superb direction of course. :O
why do i get the feeling that i'm a character in some kind of skewed joke that everybody else gets except me? lol! i LOOOVE paolo's pic! are those green lights for real? it's sooo snazzy!
oh, wait, wait! so everyone was seriously sitting in the office LISTENTING to an ORIENTATION for the new behemoth showpiece?? wow!
now my techie side's itching for an intro! bwahahaha!
