ABSTRACT

Mr Megasoft had always loved computers, so it should have come as no surprise to his live-in girlfriend and children to find, after he disappeared into space, apparently on a space yacht, that he intended, after his death, to leave all his considerable monies to his most powerful computer, known as Deep Thought. It shouldn’t have done, but it did. When, in his absence, the children came across this fact in a carelessly left unencrypted computer file, they were furious, and vowed to protect their inheritance by legal means.
