Age of the Amberbox 2 - This is soooo coooool!!!!!!

"Can I have 3 volunteers?".. The computer teacher was barely able to complete the question, there where more than 10 volunteers eager to take up any assignment. " 3 are enough" he said and I was the last one in that lot. :-)

" Each one grab one item each from the office" he said. We were in the lower office in no time. The clerk at the typewriter desk had a peculiar look in her eyes. Clearly not happy with the upgraded machines....

And there were these huge amber boxes. Being the weakest of all, I decided upon 'Lifting' the Keyboard;(Also i could fiddle with the keys, before anyone in the class could do it :) ). Finally the system was assembled (dint know the meaning of all the tech words at that time; we just swallowed whatever the instructor told us)...

Then, the magic moment, we were all waiting for... powering on ..... Pin drop silence.. and .... nothing is happening... what's this?

"aaaargh.., no power". A big "ooooh" from the whole class. Disappointment shadowed all faces. Another long wait.

"Beep... BeepBeep.." The pure electronic sound triggered a huge roar in the class. Finally the Monitor came alive. White characters all over the 14 inch screen.. nothing made any sense, but who cares? The instructor had started explaining something, but all were falling in deaf ears. Everyone was staring at the monitor without blinking.

" Take out your note books; lets start writing!!!". He turned off the monitor, and started the never ending lecture. It lasted for another half hour, and to all our disappointment, he wound up the class. Now another 7 days waiting to have a glimpse of the Amberbox...
