I don't know what a meme is but apparently I got 'tagged" with this one:

123 Meme Rules: (1) Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating! (2) Turn to page 123. (3) Find the first 5 sentences. (4) Post the next 3 sentences. (5) Tag 5 people

So here goes...

The book is The Mechanic's Tale by Steve Matchett

"Within three weeks of buying my macine, 'voice recognition' software was on the market, and shotly after that I noticed 266MHz model was available. The other day a 333MHz machine was advertised in The Times for less than half what I paid nearly a year before. If that trend continues, sometime in the next century you'll be able to 1,000,000MHz (should that be 1000GHz?) machine for less than the price of a cup of tea; that can't be right, can it?"

Not quite as poingant as I was hoping. Oh well, most books would suck if they were written in nothing but cool, quotable sentances. A good story should always be far more than the sum of it's sentances.

The last rule of this meme has me a bit bugged though. You see, I don't know 5 other people on LiveJournal that haven't already been tagged with this game. I know Buniduk, I'll tag her. That's about it.

Good night.
