Master: Can a computer see the delicate and subtle depths of a rainbow?
Geek: If we add binocular vision using two digital cameras though a USB port.
Master: Can a computer smell a beautiful flower?
Geek: Not yet, but we’ll add a smelling sensor once we invent one.
Master: Then, until that day: mu!

So, the geek goes away with a puzzled look in his face only to return having invented a smelling sensor and all the other requirements that the Master mentions over the term of their long and productive relationship. Now the geek is nearing death.

Geek: I have done all that you ask. Now does the computer have a Buddha nature?
Master: What you have now is less of a computer and more of a man.
Geek: <enlightenment>
