The static-electricity is palpable in this classic tale of "opposites attract". They try to keep their relationship in the hidden files of their lives, but when the nerd blows compressed air into the cool guy's ear, they might as well have broadcast their love on Twitter.

When Mackie's travel dept. erroneously booked him to set up a booth at the high county PC tech convention, the stage was set for an emotional experience he never anticipated. Always the first to load, Mackie was set up and back at his hotel room before any other conventioners arrived. when he returned the following morning, he entered a world surreal, yet provocative. Finding hundreds of booths filled with Windows based vendors, he suddenly became attracted to downloads and connections which seemed forever incompatible. Only after he met the guy in the booth next to his, P.C. Browser, did he begin to feel a sense of connection. The interface which followed was something his code had never considered, leading his hardware to places his software didn't know it could go.

Opposites attract in this off beat love story. Two opposing figures find they have more in common than they thought, or so the PC is leading the Mac to believe. The tale twists as the PC makes the Mac it's 'b----' and infects him with a virus, therefore keeping his position as the platform of choice. But when the ailing Mac pleads for help what will the PC do? Will he keep his stoney exterior or will he break down and admit is hidden love for the ease of use Mac?
