Ones and Zeros

Conversation with the hubs after Thursday supper club tonight.  (Note: today was a major technology day for us... T deployed a portal that he managed tonight (I have no idea what any of that means) and I sat through a work day's worth of training on how to use the new EMR system for our office.) 

T: So I you wanna see what SharePoint looks like?
A: Is that what you made?
T: Yeah.
A: No, wait, that's the program that makes the thing you made?
T: Yeah (opens up website thingy... better known as The Portal)
A: Ohhh, so when you make it... is it all, like, ones and zeros?
T: What?  No.
A: Oh is that what it was like at first, before *The Portals* (air quotes)?
T:  At first?
A:  Like in the beginning... of... programming?
T:  Everything was like that in the beginning.
A:  Is it is till ones and zeros?
T:  Not to you.  You don't see them.
A: What?
T: You're not the One.
A:  What?
T:  Neo.
[PAUSE]
A:  Did he see the ones and zeros?


P.S. for those normal people out there and those who didn't marry a computer nerd, this is a Matrix reference.
P.P.S. yes, I am well aware that our first initials repeated spell TATAs- which means we have to be super careful with monograms- we don't want any "T&A" pillows.  Also- did you know our marriage was "Manda-Tory."  We've heard it all....
