Hi, I'm Loretta and these are my friends. We're the pixies who live inside your PC. Every time you type something in on the keyboard I run over to gather up the letters and carry them back here to the files. My friend Mirella is good with numbers. Sometimes, when it gets boring, I give her a zero to divide by. She never succeeds but it's fun to watch her try! Something like if you'd try saying "Loretta Mirella" over and over a hundred times. Oh, and here's Herman. He's in charge of security. He throws logs on the firewall and keeps the viruses away from us. What's that Mirella? Yes. I think so, too. Look, I'm terribly sorry about this, but we've decided to crash your PC for a while. It's such a lovely day, we feel like going out to play in the sun.

I'm not sure which this reminds me of the most -- the underwear gnomes from South Park or the B.Kliban cartoon of a man's head sticking out of the toilet with a woman looking back and happily exclaiming "So YOU'RE the one who's been doing that!"
Do Mac computer pixies wear trendy clothes and thick, black 'indie-frame' glasses? Do they drink Starbucks as they sort our endless strings of ones and zeros?
The Mac users I know get along well with their PCs, and swear by them, not at them. The pixies must put on cool parties for their owners.
