(sobs) Recently there was a knock on the door of the TweakLab. It was one of our members, Master Control. We’ll just call him Control for short. ‘Cause I like to save as much time typing as possible. No matter how old or young you are, there is less time than you think. Why waste it typing? Believe me, I would not if I didn’t have a story to tell. You see, Master Control has a serious problem.
