------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to "The Adventures of Lone Wolf Scientific" ------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1991 M. Peshota ----------------------------- In a perfect world, S-max and Andrew.BAS would be mission commanders on the space shuttle, but due to the ineptitude of Fate, the computer hardware engineer and the programmer wind up working for a government defense contractor instead. When they lose their jobs, thanks to the hardware hacker's shenanigans, they start a high-tech company. "The Adventures of Lone Wolf Scientific" is a bi-weekly chronicle of a computer startup where technological innovation never comes without a measure of chaos. In the coming months, you'll meet S-max, Lone Wolf Scientific's Macchiavellian Head of Hardware who plots to change the world with his Rube Goldbergish inventions, his soft-spoken programmer sidekick, Andrew.BAS, who names all his programs after successful Apollo flights, and Congressman Boris Q. Popinrath, a technology gunho politician who finds in Lone Wolf Scientific the only reason he can give constituents to re-elect him. "The Adventures of Lone Wolf Scientific" is an electronically syndicated series.
