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.
