   Sauron uses a centralized mainframe system.  He's probably sitting   
   in front of his Blinkenlights console in Barad-dur and waiting   
   for the microcode that he mislaid during the War of the Last Alliance.   
      
   In the meantime, thousands of Orcs are sitting at their 029   
   keypunches slavishly churning out Cobol code and JCL, while a few   
   Hobbits are sneaking around the corner with a PDP-11 running an   
   early version of UNIX.
