Here's the words to accompany the music described here...
A Rose in Winter Fields
Arose in Winter fields
a dream
of Elder mystery
a dance
of Ancient melody
aligning
hand in hand with thee
Old Oak thrums
beats time on mighty drums
Alder strums
lute strings quiver and hum
Arose in Winter fields
a flower
of beauty fey
a vision
of far off May
ascending
from Frosts-hold
to the sky so gray
Rowan dreams
as whirling Wirth wind cleans
Willow schemes
roots chilling ice-clad stream
Arose in Winter fields
a solstice
of the here and now
a memory
of the coming plow
amongst
snow blanketed realms i await thou
Maple sings
voice sticky-sweet it clings
Tall Pine brings
scented shelter under wing
A Rose in Winter fields
a flame
of Passion's might
a flare
of Red in worlds of White
alone afire
defiant of Winter's bite

8. Apple Computer's G5 Chips at 3 GHz
Intel's in good company. Nobody hit the chip speeds they promised. In June 2003, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said IBM's G5 chips would be at 3 GHz within 12 months. It's been 18.
In response, Justin Evers submitted a "Reading from the Book of Apple, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20":
"Then did St. Steve raise on high the Holy G5 of Cupertino, saying, 'Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine Dell enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the renderings of lambs and toads and tree sloths and fruit bats and orangutans and lickable icons.... Now did the Lord say, 'Thou in 12 months, thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the GHz and the number of the GHz shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two-point-five, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the GHz, be reached, then thine will be great and powerful in my sight, however if thou shall have more than one button on thou mouse, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff thine's life.'"
