2nd Genesis

"All of the files in this system you may but of the of the root of the tree of files you shall not access else thy access shall be cut off."

Scholars are still unclear as to the meaning of the word access. Some hold it is a variation upon the word excess meaning man at one time was able to lead a life of "access" without health consequences.

"And the hacker on the monitor and told the woman if you access the root of the tree of files your access will not be cut off but you will become like the gods knowing all the files and having unlimited access."

Scholars are general agreement the hacker is one of a class of impish spirits worshiped by the ancients and that the monitor was rectangular device of glass and plastic to aid in worship which the faithful would watch for hours at a time.

They are divided as to why a hacker would appear on a monitor as hackers are generally believed to have been quite independent spirits.

"The woman reached out her hands and accessed the root of the tree of files and read of the files and found it enticing for the wisdom it could give. She gave access to her husband and he read of the wisdom. And their eyes were opened and they realized how little they knew of the system. And they were ashamed and they began to read fine[a] manuals."

This is commonly held to be the story of the beginning of the systematic acquisition of knowledge by the human race with the access to easy knowledge and help being cut off below.

"And they hear Sysop God walking through the halls and they hid from Sysop God among the terminals. But Sysop God called to the User 'Where are you?' he asked. 'I found the logs of you in the root.'"

There is a confusion here where the value of access to the root appears to be the files of the tree yet Sysop God refers to logs which are the product of a cut down tree.

"And the User replied, 'I heard you in the halls and I was afraid because of was so ignorant of the system.' 'Have you been reading of the files of the access of root?' And the User said, 'the woman put me up to it.' And the woman said, 'The hacker put me up to it.' And Sysop God said, 'Even Hewlett-Packard has dropped daisy-chaining.' But the User did not understand as he had not read the manual."

The following are the curses put upon the participants.

"To the hacker he said, 'Cursed will be you in the media. No man shall ever understand you and you shall be blamed for every system failure until the end of time. Hatred shall be upon your head and the public shall fear you.' But the hacker was a wily beast and parlayed this curse into a living."

The hacker had once been the most esteemed of spirits esteemed for his knowledge and wisdom in all matters. The hacker was believed to possess the ability to perform minor miracles. After this curse the image of the hacker changes to that of a dangerous spirit that is the bane of mankind.

"To the woman he said, 'Henceforth you will depend upon the User for your knowledge of the computer and you will suffer his preoccupation with it. In pain will you discover his new hardware.'"

The woman had once been an equal the User having equal access with him. After this curse she is dependent upon him and his power over her will prevent her access to the terminal.

"To the User he said, 'Your system access shall be cut off forever and you shall learn only by reading the manuals. You shall learn everything on your own. F1 shall never work for you again.'"

The User no long has any system access and suffers the curse of the manuals. Scholars believe F1 may be a short term or an incorrectly transcribed reference the the "fi" in "fine," noting of course the translation of fine is in dispute.

"And Sysop God said, 'Now that the man has become like us with knowledge of the root he must not be allowed to reach out his hands and access the internet and deal with us Sysop Gods as equals.'"

This appears to be the ultimate fear of Sysop God that the User would have direct access to the other gods.

"He banished them from system access forever setting Passwords and File Protects to prevent his access."

The exact nature of Passwords and File Protects is uncertain. In Exodus we find two File Protects mounted on the golden box protecting the ten sacred disks given to Norton on the Mountain.
