n the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. And the Printer was without form, and there was darkness.
And God said, "Let there be Toner!" and forth came the Producers of Toner.
And God said, "Let there be Processors!" and forth came the Producers of Processors.
And God said, "Let there be Software!" and forth came the Producers of Software, who came to be called Coders.
And God said, "From this day forward, let the Toner and the Processors and the Software come together to form the Printer," and it was so.
Now the Angel of Cheese became jealous of God and his Printer, and was cast out of Heaven, taking with him the Angel of Toner and the Angel of Processors, and the Angel of Cheese became known as Devil, for he was evil.
And the Angel of Toner caused the Toner to become black as pitch, and it marked those it touched forever with its blackness.
And the Angel of Processors brought forth MIPS, and it slowed down the Printer mightily.
And the Devil spake to his followers, saying "Come, my Marketers! Thine enemy, the Coders, do the good works of the Software, but thou shalt profit from it! From this day forth, purchase the Code of Adobe! Let the Adobe Cheese flow! Let not the Coders rest!" and it came to be so.
And the Coders became unhappy, for while they toiled without rest, the Toner marked them, the MIPS slowed the Printer down, the Cheese from Adobe caused great gnashing of the teeth and scrodding of the potch, and the Marketers took from them all the profits.
And God spake to the Coders, saying, "Keep thy chins up! For thou receiveth not profit, thou art stained by the Toner, thou art frustrated by the MIPS, thy teeth gnash and thy potches surely be scrod, thou art doing the Good Works of thy God, and by thy Faith and thy Faith alone the Printer will be Good!"
