"It was hot in Silicon Valley that day,"
but business was ice cold.
^
I had been sitting in my office all
afternoon killing time and alien
invaders on my Apple II computer.
^
"I'm Sherlock Capslock, one of the best"
private eyes in the valley.
^
"Suddenly, there was a knock at the"
door.  I got my ten toes off the
"desk and said, 'Come in!'"
^
Excuse me.  Are you Mr. Capslock?
^
"Yeah, that's me.  What can I do for you?"
^
"Well, I'm glad I've found you.  I'm"
"Nancy Novice, and I've just had a"
little accident with my Apple II
computer.
^
What happened?  Lose some important data
or something?
^
That's right.  I was typing
something this morning and suddenly
the power went off--before I could
print anything.
^
And then I heard this strange
laughter.  Like somebody had done it
intentionally.  What's going on?
^
"Well, it looked like Ms. Novice had"
had a run-in with that creep Blacky
Powerout.  But I didn't want to
alarm her.  So I just said...
^
"Listen, Ms. Novice, there's a lot"
going on.  But I'll get you set up so
you won't have to sit through a rerun of
this morning.
^
Really?  What are you going to do?
^
Just step over here to my desk.  I'm
going to give you the inside story on
the Apple II computer.
^
"Press RETURN for Sherlock's inside tour"
"                 or"
"      ESC to go back to the menu."
