John-19 looked down from the hyper-sofa as it hovered before the
twenty foot screen. “Hey, mega-darling, can you bring me another
future-beer?”
“Sure, ultra-sweetie,” called back Johanna-7 from the atomo-kitchen. “Are you enjoying the tommorrow-ball game?”
“Sure am!” John-19 called back. “What did we do before the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick? Hey, remember when we were kids and we had to watch tv on a television?”
“Oh,
honey,” Johanna-7 laughed as she chopped the tomorrow-lettuce for the
time-salad. “We didn’t even have digital then! Not like today. That
Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick supports digital HD and SD TV, letting you watch your favorite shows on your favorite hover-laptop!”
“Boy,
does it ever!” said John-19 between bites of electro-peanuts. “It’s
funny to think about how we used to need extra machines to record our
favorite shows. Thank NuGod that the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick lets us use our computer as a TimeShifting DVR!”
“How
did we ever survive, honey?” answered Johanna-7 as she basted the
space-roast. “How did we ever survive? I guess ever since the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro
Stick’s electronic program guide brought us an easy way to use XP or
Vista provided we have a gig of free memory and an Intel Pentium 4 2.4
GHz, Pentium M 1.3 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 processor plus USB 2.0
port and DirectX® 9 or higher compatible graphics and sound card
watching TV has been a whole new ultra-kettle of future fish!”
“Wow, darling! We sure use long and awkward sentences in the future!” laughed John-19.
“Oh, you big lug,” Johanna-7 laughed in return. “Give me that mini-remote control. I want to watch temporal figure skating!”
John-19 sighed. “It’s a boring game anyway.”
Johanna-7
snuggled against her hus-thing as she changed the channel. “I love you,
future-honey,” she smiled. “I wouldn’t trade you for a million Pinnacle
PCTV HD Pro Sticks!”
