Id machine

'It's great to see that Machine Corporation is finally getting the recognition that it deserves!', one enthusiastic commentator at a recent Hamburg trade-show exclaimed.

Indeed, for too long Machine Corporation has had to put up with malicious scrutiny of its objectives and motivations. This culminated earlier in the year with accusations that Machine Corporation's Id machine was little more than a thinly disguised attempt at some sort of intellectual eugenics program, in which clients who did not have an appropriate personality were 'wiped clean'.

Further complaints that Machine Corporation's Ed machine, far from being an altruistic service to provide education to far-flung reaches of the earth, was actually a rather poorly administered attempt at Western cultural imperialism have also at last been hit on the head.

The reclusive CEO of Machine Corporation, Mr Balthasar Cassimir, has briefly emerged from semi-retirement to scotch rumours that he is a former member of the Hitler Youth. 'Nor have I, at any time in my life, been party to attempts to deny the Holocaust or incite racial hatred.'

Individuals in Machine Corporation may come and go, but the corporation is bigger than individuals - it is here for the long haul.

You can expect to meet, and benefit from, many of Machine Corporation's forthcoming products for years to come.
