Here's another lunacy fic I came up with. For all you hardware ppl out
there, I deliberately made up most of the features on this fictional computer.

Any C&C is encouraged.

Characters used are the property of thier respective creaters.

All typos are strictly my own fault.


Mihoshi Computers

Scene: Ranma is sitting in front of a Mihoshi Computers' 350 Falcon. He is
typing away and is obviously getting frustrated.

Ranma: C'mon work, you piece of junk! Why did I buy this peice of crap?
(Presses some more keys and the screen wavers.) Now what? Grrr!

<Camera zooms in on the screen. Urd becomes visible.>

Urd: Hi and welcome to Mihoshi Computers' Falcon 350 pentium computer. It
features a pentium based processor operating at 350Mhz, 20 Megs of ram, 3.1
gigs of storage, and is internet ready with a 56k modem.

Ranma: Ugh! Now I got a blasted commercial! I hate Win'95!

Camera pulls back as Urd pulls herself through the screen and into the room.

Ranma (falling over backwards): Ahhhhhhh!

Urd (continuing on as if nothing happened):The Falcon 350 has other features
found nowhere else. Take, for example, the cpu's fan cooled, double
heatsink. It's truly a marvel of moderen engineering. Consider the stylish
case, truly a functional work of art. In fact, the case is designed to be...
(throwing a bucketful of water at the computer... and Ranma)

Ranma-chan: HEY! WHATCHA DO THAT FOR!

Urd (finishing): ...waterproof. If you have any concerns about tech support,
our service dept. is there for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. (Show
a scene with an *extremely* overworked Skuld feilding service calls while
sevicing several computers, sometimes with her mallet. Cut back to Urd and
Ranma-chan.)

Urd: For a computer the was designed for you by a goddess and built by
Mihoshi Computers, buy the Falcon 350.

Largo (voice over): Mihoshi Computers, reliability prevents disasters.

Urd (bewildered): Whatever happen to that good looking man that was here?

Ranma-chan: Grrrrrrrrr.
