Santa Claus
was especially generous to the Administrative Services of
INESC Porto. They were surprised with brand new computers,
with all the gizmos you can expect from the latest hi-tech.
The collaborators in question were extremely happy, and
the technicians of the Informatics and Communication Service were awfully busy trying to install every machine in
record time. The bustle was such that the poor boys were
always complaining (as if anyone would want to listen to
them anyway…), that they actually dreamt of keyboards,
screens, mice and other kinds of pets.
The highlight of this hurly-burly was the mix-up brought
about by André Freitas. There was news that the baby
(another one!) of one of our innumerous pregnant
collaborators had been born. Precisely when installing this
mummy’s computer, this hero lifts his head up from his
professional shyness and, inspired and triumphant,
announces:
“Have you heard Marta’s PC is born?”
Silence. Amazement. Laughter. Disbelief. What happened?
Confusion? Short-circuit in the brain? Or…was it really
true? André explains it again but as if we were really dumb…
