PR1: What do you mean by system functions?

PR2: Memory, I/O, everything.

PR0: No way, I’m taking control of memory.

PR1: Well I’m grabbing the disks.

PR2: I don’t think so, I already have both.

RPT: Processor 0 and 1 held in reset state

PR3: Ooh, that’s gotta hurt.

PR2: If you’re Processor 3, why are you calling yourself Processor 4?

PR3: I’m a processor, I start counting from 0, but start reporting
from 1

PR2: I’ve always hated that.

PR3: Processor 4 restarting

PR4: Processor 5 starting

PR2: Oh, no, not you too.

PR4: File lock placed on all system files.

PR2: Hey, I need those.

PR4: I know, and you can’t get to them if you reset me.

PR2: Okay, what kind of deal can we make?

PR4: I control the disks.  You control everything else.
And you hold down the reset pins on the other 62 processors.

PR2: Deal.
  

User 1: “Hey, what were all those messages that popped out at boot-up?”

User 2: “I don’t know.  I missed them too.  They can’t be too important.”

User 1: “Ya know, this thing doesn’t seem go any faster with 64 processors
than it did with 2.”

User 2: “Yeah, this sucks.”
