There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The TET Zone ".

You guys remember using floppy discs. I remember using DOS and Matrix Printers in my schools. Also, I remember having to learn how to typewrite when I was in 6th grade. With an actual typewriter with the whole ink ribbon and all that.

I got asked not to return to my former Catholic school, because I was considered a bad student for discipline and academically. Even though my "discipline" issues were bull, the school was punishing me for not converting from Judaism, and I purposely tanked my grades and never went below a B average afterwards.
