			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t get it!&#8221;, exclaimed the former zero bit. &#8220;I changed from zero to one and I&#8217;m still <strong>me</strong>. Where&#8217;s the coveted sense of power, meaning and pride that supposedly surrounds the ones?!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>The one bit pursed his mouth in a self-satisfied smirk. Subsequently, he said:</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;You are missing the point, mate. You are looking for self-affirmation in the wrong place. There&#8217;s not much we as bits can do alone. It is only when we are clustered together that our true purpose is revealed. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you are one or zero. That alone does not define who you really are. Unity, as it is often the case, is the only road to real enlightenment.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>It was only then that our former zero bit could finally see the frivolousness of his silly quandary.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Ah, together&#8230;&#8221;, he whispered while he held his chin up, as if everything became all of the sudden abundantly clear.</em></p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>May prosperity, health and good fortune find your way in 2009!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Once upon a time, in the ethereal realm known as cyberspace, there was a little bit sitting alone in its ominous off state. &#8220;Being zero really sucks; I truly wish I could be more!&#8221;, howled the downhearted bit. The exclamation was overheard by a peripatetic one bit. &#8220;Why so gloomy, mate?&#8221;, interjected the new onlooker.</em></p>
<p><em>The zero bit glanced at the passerby while showcasing a perfect frown of disapproval. &#8220;You wouldn&#8217;t understand, </em><em>one-y. You represent truth, power and value. How can you comprehend the falseness, vapidity and utter lack of usefulness intrinsic to the likes of my kind?&#8221;, said the dispirited zero bit.</em></p>
<p><em>The kindhearted one bit replied with the least expected statement of them all:</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Come with me and you&#8217;ll be one; we&#8217;d simply do some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OR" target="_blank">OR</a> time!&#8221;.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I hope you can find it in yourselves this and every year from now on. Be a jolly one! Merry Christmas!</p>
