//Picture jungle drums and a big half-naked man in a grass skirt sitting by the
       fire saying this in a deep voice...//

       *You do not walk alone. I, too have been plagued by an unruly computer. I have
       tried to tame the beast, but it will not be tamed. It sits there, mocking me.
       Refusing to do what I know it can do.*

       (Yeah, yeah, yeah. My kids and my never-leaving house guest have finally driven
       me over the edge. Now I am completely insane.)

       Summary: A snippet to cheer up Luthien.


       "Frack! Frack! Frack! Double frack!" Apollo pounded his head on the keyboard of
       his computer.

       "Pol, just take a deep breath. It can't be that bad."

       "It isn't that bad," Apollo snapped at him fiercely, "it's worse! Frack! Frack!
       Frack!"

       "Just calm down."

       "Calm down?! Calm down?! How do you expect me to calm down?! Do you have any
       idea how many things I use this computer for?! Well, do you?!"

       "Probably not, but..."

       "But nothing! I have all of my reports on it, all of my finances on it, every
       piece of information I've accumulated over the past five yahrens is on this
       computer!"

       "It's not dead is it?"

       "It may as well be! If one part stops working, I can't use it!"

       "We'll get the part fixed and then it'll be fine."

       "Fine! Do you have any idea how... Oooohhh yyyyeah! Just like that. Keep doing
       that. Oh, Sagan!! Oooohhhhh Ssssssssaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn!!!!!"

       Apollo squirmed underneath his lover, bucking and writhing frantically. "That
       issss sssssooo wwwoooonnnndddddeeeeerrrrrrrfffffuuuuuulllllll!"

       Apollo bucked once again, climaxing into his love's mouth, screaming out his
       name,
       "Sssssstttttttttttaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrbbbbbbbuuuuuuuccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk!!!"

       Starbuck swallowed his juice greedily, snaking his tongue out and licking every
       last drop off of his chin.

       After a few moments he said, "See, you only need to have the right part working.
       It just kind of takes care of the rest."

       The End
