Odgoo liked to write in acronyms, which are short forms of words. It was faster, more economical and she did not have to worry about the structure of her sentences. Her memo would look like this: REHI RUOK? RTFM KISS. BYOB ASAP. TAFN, NRN Odgoo Everyone who worked with her had a file with all the explanations handy.

Try to keep up with acronyms, anyway.

Ugma was an inventor. The first important project he developed was a special breed of cell phones that in case of a personal attack would send a picture of the attacker to the police. The only thing a person had to do was to hang it on their neck and scream when being attacked. Since the camera was hanging on the person’s chest, cautious people were also wearing a mirror attached to their hats to see a prospective attacker approaching from the back.

Ugma also developed a Good Virus. He designed it so it would organize the recipient’s desktop, or send really nice messages to everyone in the address book. The virus was encoded into an e-mail message, so the recipients were learning about the events without really noticing it. After a while, they’d noticed the clean, well-organized desktop and a bunch of nice e-mails from people who were not too friendly toward them before. It made people angry. It was an invasion of their privacy. Ugma was forced to begin selling the product so only those who wanted it could use it. He set the price low, so soon everyone possessed it.
