<Ouroboros> You know, I think the modern-day computer tech
replaces, to some extent, the mystic of ancient times.
<Ouroboros> Here we have these strange, inexplicable boxes
that are sometimes possessed by demons, and the mystic comes
and opens the sacred box and waves his magic charms and things
and somehow exorcises the spirits and makes everything good
and whole again.
<Ouroboros> Then he takes all your money and disappears.
