And it came to pass after these things that God did test Abraham. And
He said to him, "Abraham!"
 
And Abraham replied "Here I am."
 
And God said, "Take your computer, your old computer, your 386;
and install upon it an operating system, a new operating system,
Windows NT, which I will show to you."
 
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass. He
loaded his computer, his old computer, his 386, on the ass. And he
took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son. And he rose
up and went to the place where God had told him, there to find
Windows NT.
 
Then, on the third day, Abraham lifted his eyes and saw Windows NT
from afar. And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the
ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and load Windows NT on our
386, and come again to you"
 
And Abraham took his computer his old computer, his 386, and laid
it on Isaac his son. And they went both of them together.
 
And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father." And he
replied, "Here I am my son." And Isaac said, "Windows NT requires
far more memory than our 386 has. How will it possibly run on
our machine?"
 
And Abraham looked at his son, his only son, whom he loved; and he
shook his head slowly, and in perfect faith and with unswerving trust
and belief in the Almighty, he said,
 
" Fear not Isaac my son . . . . . . . God will provide the RAM."
