Growling ferociously, the men edged closer. Each one produced a card with an image of the toy computer imprinted on it. Then all together (as if they were a choir), they unfurled a banner on which was printed the words "MAC MEN RULE THE MOUNTAIN" and a picture of a tent in which toy-like computers in many colors were housed. Beneath the logo and the image were the words: "Come with us and we will show you systems with affordances of which you have never dreamed."

"Thank you but I do not have time to see your computers", Clara responded politely.

The Mac Men paid no attention to her words. One of them -- it was hard to tell the rogue Mac salesmen apart because they all looked as if they had never been to a gym -- produced a rope with which to tie her hands.
