On July 6, 1988, during the Mexican presidential election, the government computers mysteriously crashed: 'se cayó el sistema'. At that exact same hour, the pirate FM broadcast relay in Coyoacán that had been re-transmitting Nova's songs went silent. The mural in Coyoacán still shows his face, but people say when the streetlight flickers it glitters into someone else. -- === Renata Fournier === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Delphi Internet Services "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
