       A master was explaining the nature of Tao to one of his novices.   
   "The Tao is embodied in all software -- regardless of how insignificant,"   
   said the master.   
       "Is Tao in a hand-held calculator?" asked the novice.   
       "It is," came the reply.   
       "Is the Tao in a video game?" continued the novice.   
       "It is even in a video game," said the master.   
       "And is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer?"   
       The master coughed and shifted his position slightly.  "The lesson   
   is over for today," he said.
