Bit on the inside

A strange, slim volume crosses our desk: The Tale of Billy the Bit, by Don Johnson (not that one), published by Athena Press.
‘His whole life consists of standing up and sitting down on demand without ever understanding why,’ says the blurb. If you want to find out what happens when Billy crouches, it’s only 79 pages long.
‘This may provide an insight for the readers of Computing as to what really goes on inside a PC, instead of perpetuating the
misinformation that everything is controlled by integrated circuits.’
We don’t believe a word of it – but then again, we never do.
