The scene opens up in the office of America's Most Wanted. James Storm is sitting at the oak table dressed in his normal torn dark blue jeans, black cowboy boots, black AMW t-shirt, and black AMW trench coat, with his black cowboy hat on. James is sitting up in his chair and looking at the screen of a brand new Dell laptop. There is a beer sitting beside the lap top that is open and half empty as James curiously looks over the key board of the lap top. About this time Shane Anzalone comes walking into the office and sees James's quizzical look at the computer and walks over to where James is sitting.
Shane Anzalone
James, um, man, what are you doing? Why are you just staring at a black screen on a brand new lap top, not planning on making love or anything to it are you?
James Storm
Ha ha Shane you are a comedian. I bought this dang gone thing earlier today so that I could check out this Twitter thing every one keeps talking about. Not to mention I'd like to do a few other things but I don't even know to turn the damn thing on!
Shane Anzalone
Dude, you have never been on a computer? Are you serious? I thought every one except really old people have never been on a computer and even some of them know how to use one and get on the internet, that is where you can get on and look for things, if you didn't know that.
James Storm
Shane don't make me hurt you. This thing is already driving me crazy and I will take it out on you if you continue with your smart ass. Just show me how to turn this thing on and show me how to get to that Twitter thing.
James sets the computer down on the table as Shane pulls up his chair. Shane takes a quick look at the laptop and presses the round button on top far right of the keyboard which lights up and then the screen follows showing the Dell symbol as it begins to load up. Shane looks over at James and snickers and James gives him a look and Shane turns his attention back to the computer as it is almost done loading.
Shane Anzalone
Ok, this screen right here is where you will be able to get to every thing you will need. You can change the settings for the lap top, the back ground, you can click an icon and check your files, or listen to your music. Then there is the icon that allows you to get on the internet which is right here.
As Shane was explaining every thing he was using the mouse to point over to each icon. When he got to the Internet Explorer icon he pressed the mouse pad twice which brought up a new tab on the screen which was white at first until the Welcome to Internet Explorer 7.1 page showed up. Then Shane clicked on the long oval toward the top of the space and a single black line appeared inside of the oval.
Shane Anzalone
Ok. That oval I just clicked on is the address bar, that is how you get to any web site you want to go to. You click it and type in www then what ever the name of the web site is and at the end you normally put dot com. Any questions so far?
James Storm
Actually every thing you have done so far seems simple enough. I think I can remember every thing you said and did so far. Go ahead and show me how to get to this Twitter thing next.
Shane puts his fingers on the keyboard and types in www.twitter.com and presses the enter button which makes the screen go white once more for a few seconds until the light blue screen shows up on the computer with Twitter and a blue bird on the top of the page.
Shane Anzalone
Ok, before you can start using a web site like Twitter you need to make an account with them. Some places cost money, but web sites like Twitter, Facebook, or Myspace are free to use. You can see on the screen in the ugly green box there where it says, sign up now, that is where you will click to make your account.
Shane clicks on the green box as James Storm looks on intently. The screen goes back to white and has many black boxes asking for information.
Shane Anzalone
Ok, I'm going to let you do this part, what you are going to do is click on the white part of each box and put in what information they need.
Shane moves the computer to where James can type and James clicks on the first white box and fills in his fist name and continues to do the same for each box until he done.
Shane Anzalone
Ok, now that you are finished we just click the accept button and you are ready to start Tweeting.
Shane clicks the accept button and after a minute James's profile comes up on the computer ready for him to put up his first status message. James clicks on the white box to put his first message in and types in, God is Great, Beer is Good, People are Crazy! and clicks the button. Shane and James celebrate by taking a couple of beers and doing a toast and then chug them down ending the scene as it fades to black.
