He >loaded his computer, his old 486 computer, on the ass. And he took two >of his young men with him and Yitzchak his son. And he rose up and went >to the place where God had told him, there to find Windows 95. > > Then, on the third day, Avraham lifted his eyes and saw Windows 95 >from afar. > > And Avraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the ass; I and >the lad will go yonder and load Windows 95 on our 486, and come again >to you." > > So Avraham took his old 486 computer and laid it on Yitzchak, his >son. And they went both of them together. > > And Yitzchak spoke to Avraham his father and said, "My father." > > And Avraham replied, "Hineni - Here I am my son." > > And Yitzchak said, "Windows 95 requires far more memory than your >486 has. How will it possibly run on your machine?" > > And Avraham looked at his son, his only son, whom he loved; and he >shook his head slowly. In perfect faith and with unswerving trust >and belief in the Almighty, he said, "Fear not Yitzchak my son . . . . >God will provide the RAM." > > Deborah L.
