1776: If they had computers back then...
 
Jefferson: Gentlemen, the summer grows hot, and it is essential that we complete this Declaration of Independence.
 
Franklin: Wait a minute, Thomas. I have to reboot here.
 
Jefferson: That's all right, Ben. We'll go on without you. Has everyone had a chance to look at the draft I posted yesterday?
 
Sherman: Not yet, Thomas, I've been having Notes replication problems.
 
Adams: Here, Roger, I brought a hard copy.
 
Sherman: Thanks... saaaaay, nice font.
 
Adams: Do you like it? I downloaded it off Colonies Online just last week.
 
Jefferson: Gentlemen! There is work to be done. I fear our document will soon leak out.
 
Livingston: Too late, Thomas. There's already a bootleg circulating. I saw it posted on alt.georgeIII.sucks last night.
 
Franklin: @#$$%^$# General Protection Fault!
 
Adams: Ben, you might try upgrading to Windows 75.  It solved that problem for me.
 
Sherman: Thomas, the part here about the Acts of Pretended Legislation; have you considered using bullets to air out the text?
 
Jefferson: I can fix that easily enough. Drat! I've spilled candle wax on my keyboard again.
 
Adams: You know, Thomas, that wouldn't happen if you'd buy an active-matrix screen.
 
Franklin: Hard-disk failure?!? Aw, criminy!!
 
Livingston: Are you sure it's "unalienable rights"? My spell checker recommends "unassailable".
 
Jefferson: Can we stick to the substance of the document, please?  Shoot. Low battery. Anyone got a spare power cable?
 
Sherman: What have you got, a Toshiba? No, mine isn't compatible.
 
Franklin: Hello, PCs Philadelphia? What does it mean when the floppy drive buzzes? OK, I'll hold...
 
Livingston: The "In Congress" part here at the top; have you thought about blowing that up really big and maybe centering it in 72 point Helvetica?
 
Jefferson: Not a bad idea. Aw, nuts! Word macro virus! I can't save the file.
 
Mr. Franklin: That's all right, Thomas. We can manage. Here, borrow my quill pen....
