===========================================================================

WaRe FuCKeR: Heard ye found a board machine for us in the town!!

OH7MO: Yeah, there was a kinda 286 in the municipal house that might suit y'all.

dA dArK WaNKeR: How much are they askin' for it?

OH7MO: Well, I heard it's broken and I told 'em to look at it a bit, check if I could fix it or should we let the municipality to buy a newer one.

dA dArK WaNKeR: What would they need a newer one for in the office?

OH7MO: Well, I heard WP51 is not s'posed to be enuff for word processin', 'coz ye should use that there Windows and its programs.

mR.mEgAsTuFf: Fuckin' Windoze goddammit!

OH7MO: Word! They're a bunch of vanity investments I reckon! Ye don't need no colors to show text, nor even a graphics mode!

OH7MO: But the good thang it that dumminess is that y'all be gonna get the old one!

WaRe FuCKeR: Dinna ye say it's broken?

OH7MO: Well, I guess they've just deleted a file there so the programs won't start normally anymaw...

OH7MO: But nevertheless I can easily say to them that there's a bigger problem with the machine and it takes longer to try fixin' it!

dA dArK WaNKeR: So, ye don't have to pay nuffin' for it?

OH7MO: Well, I'm gonna say that checkin' it out already cost as much as the machine's resell value, so I'll get it kinda for free.

WaRe FuCKeR: Hey, we're soon at the Kattilapelto house!!

dA dArK WaNKeR: Won't it usually come aroond here?

WaRe FuCKeR: Mummy said the folks there would've moved away...

OH7MO: Oh! I hain't even heard aboot such afore! Guess we should look a bit closer at it...

dA dArK WaNKeR: Putten planks over the windows and everthang! It's quite clear now, ain't it...

WaRe FuCKeR: Looks so exciting! Would we pleeze go inside and check it out there??

OH7MO: Heheh... maybe some other time?

OH7MO: Well, sure y'all can visit it on yer own too, but watch that y'all won't get caught by the caps!

WaRe FuCKeR: Allrighty... so exciting!!

OH7MO: But now we should head t'wards the townhouse, 'coz I already agreed with that there Riitta that I'll be there by three o'clock...

WaRe FuCKeR: Okey then... But can we get inside the townhouse then?

OH7MO: Just stay in the car, I'll just quickly grab the machine...

WaRe FuCKeR: Meh, so unfair!!

dA dArK WaNKeR: There ain't much to see there for real. Borin' corridors and some crooked dickheads walkin' in them...

mR.mEgAsTuFf: Don't stay there for coffee there then or anything!

OH7MO: Allrighty then, I won't...

...

RIITTA: Hello, Osmo! There's that gear over there in the corner... are ye gonna look at it right here?

OH7MO: I guess it might be better for me to look at it at my own office. 'Cause I've got some schoolkids from our village fixin' it with me.

RIITTA: I've heard they're quite skilled with this modern technique, them there boys!

OH7MO: They've been learning the new tech really quickly, yeah...

RIITTA: It won't matter to me if y'all won't get it fixed, 'cause we'll get them there finer machines for us then.

OH7MO: It's like that, yeah.

OH7MO: Hear me now, I've gotten the cables off now, but it's maybe better to have two people to carry it. So we'll get it to the car in one round.

RIITTA: Guess it might be like that, yeah. I can take the terminal.

OH7MO: Allrighty, I'll get the main box and the keyboard.

...

MARTTI: Look there, it's Osmo. Ye hain't dared to answered yer phone, have ye?

OH7MO: Well, I've always been away.

MARTTI: Ain't ye got an answerin' machine yet? And yer s'posed to be a man of techniques...

OH7MO: I hain't...

MARTTI: Well, I'm gonna say it to ye now then.

MARTTI: So, unless ye hain't noticed, we cancelled our rental agreement with ye half a year ago already, and ye still hain't taken yer stuff away.

OH7MO: I hain't had the time for that...

MARTTI: Now yer gotta have the time! If that OKtroniikka junk won't be gone from the municipal rental space in two weeks, then it's gonna be some POLICE BUSINESS!

OH7MO: Is that so? This came so quickly...

MARTTI: Ye've been crookin' around this for half a year! So it's better to give ye a two-week deadline, maybe that'd get yer limbs movin'!

RIITTA: Wouldna it be all the same for Osmo to be there, 'cause many of the premises are empty anyway...

MARTTI: Them there rooms belong to the municipality, and we in Centre Party don't take kindly of freeloaders!

RIITTA: Did ye hafta bring it to politics once again?

MARTTI: Shut up there, Democrat hag, now it's the men tawkin'!

OH7MO: Well then, I'll empty it up within two weeks. I actually reckoned aboot startin' it today.

MARTTI: And ye hafta start it! I might even ask the cops to look at ye, that yer emptyin' it for sure.

OH7MO: Ye woulnda had to take it that far... but could we get to bring this machine that needs fixin' to my car?

MARTTI: Go then, goddammit.

...

RIITTA: Such a mindless fella that there Martti, 'cause ye can never suggest a reasonable solution, his principles always come first...

OH7MO: Well, we do live in Lietevesi, so we hafta try to come along with the Centre Party rednecks...

WaRe FuCKeR: Wowww!! Is that our new machine now!!

OH7MO: Shh!!

RIITTA: Well, boys be wantin' the machine to themself already, heheh!

OH7MO: Well, if it looks like its days are over, then the boys will get a toy from it...

RIITTA: (At least I don't care if ye gave it straight over to them... as long as ye won't tell anybody that I said this...)

OH7MO: (Allrighty...)

WaRe FuCKeR: Would we get to check it out already??

OH7MO: Allrighty, let's go then.

RIITTA: Ye should visit more often, Osmo, we should maybe go to coffee some day!

OH7MO: Okey! But we're gonna leave now, see ye! And happy Mayday!

RIITTA: Y'all too, and see ye!

...

OH7MO: The DOS six boot floppy seems to work quite well.

OH7MO: And just like I reckoned, there's been somebody who accidentally said del star-dot-star at the C root...

mR.mEgAsTuFf: How big hard disk is there in that machine?

OH7MO: Let's see... the drive C is thirty megs and D ten, so maybe it's one forty-meg disk split into two logical drives.

mR.mEgAsTuFf: We'd maybe need a bit bigger one... right, Darkie?

dA dArK WaNKeR: Yeah, there's so much messages and files iatFrontline already, that it wouldna really fit in forty megs.

WaRe FuCKeR: Do we hafta buy that there new hardware on our own?

mR.mEgAsTuFf: Fuckin' lamer, it's a hard disk and not any fuckin' hardware!!!

WaRe FuCKeR: All the same for me!!!

OH7MO: It ain̈́'t the same, hard disk is just one part of the hardware...

WaRe FuCKeR: At least I always call hard disk hardware!!

mR.mEgAsTuFf: NOBODY IN OUR CREW'S EVER GONNA CALL HARD DISK HARDWARE LIKE SOME FUCKIN' MBNET LAMERZ DO!!!

dA dArK WaNKeR: So, ye really had to start shoutin' aboot this once again?

OH7MO: Ye should sometimes tolerate it when somebody uses some wrong words.

OH7MO: I didna correct it today eithen, when Riitta called the monitor a terminal...

WaRe FuCKeR: Ain't it the same thang then?

OH7MO: A terminal is a kinda device that has a keyboard and a serial port in addition to the monitor, so ye can communicate with the mainframe -

dA dArK WaNKeR: Didye have that there bigger hard disk?

OH7MO: Well, there's a hundred-and-sixty-meg one in Hautataipale, would that be enuff for y'all?

dA dArK WaNKeR: Well, it's already so big that it should suit us for a while, yeah!

WaRe FuCKeR: D'ye have that there mawdem for it already?

OH7MO: Yeah, it's already there in the mail parcel. It had just arrived at the bus station on Friday...

WaRe FuCKeR: Where didye buy it from?

dA dArK WaNKeR: Wusna it that there FidoNet message where they were sellin' it...

OH7MO: Yeah, that's aboot where y'all found it.

mR.mEgAsTuFf: Even though FidoNet is quite sucky, it's one of the best for adverts like that...

OH7MO: The Keltanen Pörssi magazine is still more popular, I guess.

WaRe FuCKeR: Would we open the parcel right away? May I? Pleeze pleeze?

OH7MO: We should wait 'til we get to Hautataipale with it..

WaRe FuCKeR: So, we're gonna do it there? Ye promised that -

OH7MO: Well, I should bring all of my stuff outta these premises anyway.

dA dArK WaNKeR: So, yer gonna bring OKtroniikka to bankrupty?

OH7MO: Well, they told me at the townhouse a while ago to bring the stuff hell outta the premises, so I guess I hafta do it then...

OH7MO: We officially cancelled the rental agreement half a year ago already, 'cause I couldna pay for it...

dA dArK WaNKeR: Won't the firm give any profit anymaw?

OH7MO: Well, it'd be all the same for me to get unemployment benefits, but I've got the principle that I hafta get along with my own money!

OH7MO: So, if yer been reckonin' aboot why there are so many abandoned houses in Lietevesi, the reason is here...

WaRe FuCKeR: Ye mean like where?

OH7MO: We're runnin' out of work and losin' jobs, and everbody's movin' away for that reason. Only the farmers stay...

dA dArK WaNKeR: And the pulp factory.

mR.mEgAsTuFf: Fuckin' damned pulp factory dammit, for bringin' Reijo here!!

dA dArK WaNKeR: Are ye gonna move away yerself, Osmo?

OH7MO: I've been considerin' it for a longer while already.

OH7MO: If there'll be so little work that I'd hafta register as unemployed to stay alive, then I'd be more or less forced to...

mR.mEgAsTuFf: Fuck it! If yar ever gonna move away, then I'm gonna move with ya! And ya'd become my official caretaker then!

mR.mEgAsTuFf: I'm not gonna stay in this backwaters village and look at the fuckin' family dream Ritu and Reijo are havin', dammit...

OH7MO: Well, I guess their thing would be over within half a year, as always afore?

mR.mEgAsTuFf: I don't think it necessarily would, 'coz Reijo is somehow more nazi than any of Ritu's earlier men.

mR.mEgAsTuFf: And that naziness drives Ritu so fuckin' excited...

OH7MO: Well, in any case, finish the junior high school here... Then yer gonna get free with yer life!

mR.mEgAsTuFf: Okay well, maybe I should try to stand this hayseed town for those a couple of years still...

OH7MO: I'll try to stay here for that thime also, if I ever manage to.

OH7MO: Y'all should also be tryin' to find some projects for me that'd earn me at least some money, so that I won't hafta move away afore it.

mR.mEgAsTuFf: Okay...
