Story Content

Once upon a time, in the land of Computia, lived a little cursor named Pip. Pip wasn't like the other cursors, content to blink patiently. Pip longed for adventure. He yearned to explore beyond the confines of the screen.
One day, Pip discovered a mysterious file – a list of forgotten commands. This file spoke of ancient programs that could move the cursor anywhere on any disk. He decided to use one of the programs.
Following the instructions, Pip carefully entered a complicated line of code. "If key pressed, change format," the program buzzed. He gingerly typed the designated character.
Suddenly, Pip found himself zooming across the screen, leaping from directory to directory! He experimented with different menu options, trying to set his destination. "How can I specify where to go?" he wondered. He even learned how to display little messages in bright, flashing text.
The wise old keyboard noticed Pip's antics. He told Pip, "Control your desires, Pip. True freedom isn't about wild wandering. Focus your intention by focusing your efforts." He learned to responsibly enjoy his newly gained ability.
Pip then found happiness as he moved quickly and displayed results to users when the users worked with other helpful programs in the system. Currently, Pip enjoys a slower pace but never stopped wanting more!
