1776 and freedom letter of USA

IF THERE WERE COMPUTERS IN 1776

Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen, the summer grows hot, and it is essential that 
we complete this declaration of independence.

Mr. Franklin: Wait a minute, Thomas. I have to reboot here.

Mr. Jefferson: That's all right, Ben. We'll go on without you. Has 
everyone had a chance to look at the draft I posted yesterday?

Mr. Sherman: Not yet, Thomas, I've been having Notes replication 
problems.

Mr. Adams: Here, Roger, I brought a hard copy.

Mr. Sherman: Thanks. Saaaaay, nice font.

Mr. Adams: Do you like it? I downloaded it off Colonies Online just last 
week.

Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen! There is work to be done. I fear our document 
will soon leak out.

Mr. Livingston: Too late, Thomas. There's already a bootleg circulating. 
I saw it posted on alt.georgeIII.stinks last night.

Mr. Franklin: @#$$%^$# General Protection Fault!

Mr. Adams: Ben, you might try upgrading to Windows 75. It solved that 
problem for me.

Mr. Sherman: Thomas, the part here about the Acts of Pretended 
Legislation; have you considered using bullets to air out the text?

Mr. Jefferson: I can fix that easily enough. Drat! I've spilled candle 
wax on my keyboard again.

Mr. Adams: You know, Thomas, that wouldn't happen if you'd buy an 
active-matrix screen.

Mr. Franklin: Hard-disk failure?!? Aw, criminy!

Mr. Livingston: Are you sure it's "unalienable rights"? My spell checker 
recommends "unassailable".

Mr. Jefferson: Can we stick to the substance of the document, please? 
Shoot. Low battery. Anyone got a spare power cable?

Mr. Sherman: What have you got, a Toshiba? No, mine isn't compatible.

Mr. Franklin: Hello, PCs Philadelphia? What does it mean when the floppy 
drive buzzes? OK, I'll hold.....

Mr. Livingston: The "In Congress" part here at the top; have you thought 
about blowing that up really big and maybe centering it in 72 point 
Helvetica?

Mr. Jefferson: Not a bad idea. Aw, nuts! Word macro virus! I can't save 
the file.

Mr. Franklin: That's all right, Thomas. We can manage. Here, borrow my 
quill pen...
