MacCare, MacMall,
MacWorld, MacZone,
MacWorks They come in the mail
three and four a day
and what I read instead of reading is catalogs: 300 MHz Power Macs,
Macromedia Bundles,
Miromotion,
Connectix Speed Doubler,
Extended Keyboard and Mouse Bound to the phone,
I buy this shit
in order to say, a month later,
I need more Megahertz, more RAM. Software, software,
I want more.
Order, order,
order more. Install the stuff
cross-platform support
and duplex printing,
de-install and re-install
and install some more. Eye candy prices on a yellow background
new user interfaces optimized for distance viewing
from the living room sofa
One Thumb Browsing
using WebTV. Bargain hard drives, bargain opticals,
Powerful. Fun. Easy-to-Use. Know the 800- numbers by heart:
MegaHaus,
Software of the Month Club,
DigiCorps. POW-ER,
bargain power
and the promise of power.
Prometheus, credit card at the ready,
the promise of zero,
the promise of one,
the promise of zeros and ones.
Prometheus on hold. |
