We can only apologise for the recent ‘down time’ of well-regarded ‘hypertext journal’ Dysphoria Net. Although a team of white-coated futurists tends the complex cyber-machinary behind it around the clock— replacing worn-out valves; keeping the inputs well-supplied with punch-tape; and watching the video output devices for any signs of trouble— it seems that disaster descended from the most unlikely of quarters:

It appears that a small insect (or ‘bug’ as the boffins affectionally refer to the little critters), had become enmeshed in the delicate core memory of the Central Processing Unit!

Well, a timely reminder, perhaps, of Man’s hubris in building a Computation Device rivaling the Human Brain itself. In any case, the core files were replaced in a matter of days, and Dysphoria Net is back again in tip-top form.

You may look forward soon to more of our famously witty and irreverant dispatches, once more delivered over this New Electonic Wonder-Medium!
