My google-fu has failed. I am weak… Help me dopers, you’re my only hope:
I thought it would be snap to find this story I remember from the early days of Usenet, which shows Dorothy jacking into cybersapace, a la William Gibson’s Neuromancer, and featured, iirc, an appearance by the wicked witch which had all the “mercury-tipped slug gatling guns in the bar spooling up” or some such. She was defeated, again iirc, by being splashed with a gnus/emacs user manual file.
I wanted to share it with a friend, but couldn’t find it anywhere. Can anyone here point me to a link?
