The sudden crash gave Micro a hanging over problem till next midday. His memory did not clear up until he took a refreshing reset. Micro got the routine processes going and did a fuzzy calculation on the possiblity of making it again with Mini.
His root device had already recovered from the crash. So Micro set all defaults for another broad band random search.
The ether was light and the search did not take much time. He located Mini near the gateway at the reception.
He parked his 68040 at the main drive. After a search of the archives, he decided that circumstances dictate a handshake to ensure good thruput.
Mini took his signal and Micro had no problem in getting access to her peripherals. They decided upon a rendezvous at the seagate when the sun went down.
Meanwhile Micro went to a hardware store and got magnetic shields for his root device. It was rumoured that communication could lead to virus infection. He didn't want to take chances with viruses. The guy at the counter informed him about the current decrees against abortion. The shield was guaranteed to create no child processes.
In the evening, near the seagate, Micro and Mini went for a random walk. Micro initiated a shortest path problem in Mini's mind.
Mini said her shell could be opened. They ran Mini's algorithm and occasionally interrupted each other with shaking up protocols during the walk.
Once inside the shell, they locked into a deadlock. Then Micro's probe swept the critical regions in Mini's system looking for the cause. Subsequent to the deadlock, Mini's system response time was very high.
The cause was found to be the shield, which Micro failed to display. It was fixed and they decided to communicate by packet switching. They successfully ran about three sessions when Micro found that his buffer was empty.
There was a significant time delay to recover from the high speed traffic.
They decided to try different protocols next time for more reliable and efficient data transfer.
And Micro signed off from the session determined to put more graphical X-window interfaces next time.
