You Version 1.0

Greetings version 1.0 you look in good shape.

I see you have already completed the initial tests successfully and have updated your profile on more than one social media site. From the likeability tests we can see that people are attracted to your words and your points. Now we are able to move on to your firmware upgrade.

So version 1.0 we are now going to configure your additional settings, to make you an individual. We had some difficulties in the early versions of your programming, the facebook virus but this seems to have now been controlled. You were experiencing to many 3rd party applications and your chips were fried.

Now though you have several options with the refined SM chip, which will be dual core as soon as we can connect you via the twitter virtual servers. 

We have assigned the following to you.

SM - Social Media chip allows you to identify potential places to "spread your digital seed" - Ecademy, linked in, Friend Feed and Addpublic have all been entered into your core system. You will still notice some internal translation issues with Addpublic, our engineering specialist A Wideow will update the program as soon as the German issues can be fixed.

Blogs - We have assigned several interesting topics for you to discuss which are sure to grab your readers attention - these include - the better way to brush your dog. Breath mints for Zoo animals and instructions on how to make your own Big Mac. Version 1.1 should see some significant improvements to the range of subjects.

Personality - We have programmed you to be - Warm and fuzzy when commenting but spiky and current with your blogs. This way your are sure to grab the attention of many.

Style - with version 1.0 you are not able to change your skins. With 1.1 we are hopeful that this will change, with the colours of the rainbow being added. some will not like you at version 1.0 stage but with the leopard can change its spots technology this will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

We predict with future versions that version 1.4 will be a backwards step before 1.5 sorts out previous issues.

Anyway if you would like to step into the wi fry area we will begin.......

Downloading updates...............

A real Story about Change

Often when I have change in my pocket I just throw it in a tray on my desk until it builds up before giving the kids the coppers and using the rest for those ever so "cheap" tolls and parking spaces. 

The thing is as I was sorting through the coins I felt a little bit dirty
I know it's a little strange to make comparisons but I found myself like a tyrant or a dictator sorting through his people.

"All the silvers and gold's separated out from the coppers"

Those of value and those of little value to the tray. Those Coppers just taking up space, over populating the tray and suffocating the gold's.

The coppers now segregated into a jar downstairs, where they stay amongst their own. 
The Gold's and the silvers are allowed to mingle freely. 
The exception of course being the 5 pence's.
These are allowed to live in relative harmony with the others unless their numbers grow too large. Then a cull is required which often leaves only a few remaining. 

A few end up with the coppers who are brand new and shiny, the rest are sent away in batches, small and unloved in the end.

There are also other area's around the house where small change tray communities grow. Often these communities are kept segregated or robbed overnight to make another community bigger.

One underground community, the "Sofa change bunch" are completely different from the rest. They live without class issues. Only the bravest and luckiest of change ever make it to the sofa, let alone enter the secret entrance to the underground cave. There, coppers and silvers and gold's live in harmony in the fluff fields and lost sock island. Occasional raids by young hands sees only a loss of small numbers which are soon replaced by the man falling asleep on the sofa when returning from the pub. 

The coppers in their isolation stay until they reach vast numbers. Then they disappear suddenly, their home briefly void of any tenants.
The Silvers come and go but have a longer life than any of the other change tray dwellers. 
The gold ones are often brief visitors, stopping only for a moment until they are called into action once more.

Look after the pennies someone cried, and no one listened……..
