"I can't
believe someone would do this!" Amanda was angry. Todd was there, quietly
listening to her ranting. "I worked hard putting that book together and
for what? For someone to live out their sick fantasy that they supposedly know
something? To lay claim to ideas that aren't their own?"
Amanda stopped for a
moment to take her laptop out of its bag. She set it on the counter and opened
it up.
"It's just as
bad as having my apartment broken into, except this…" She pointed to her
laptop that was still loading. She had shut it down the night before.
"This takes no effort. Only a lazy idiot with no real creativity will do
this. Even his website screams 'I'm too lazy to Google web design principles.
Look at me! Look how stupid I am!' "
Todd chuckled. It
didn't bother Amanda. She intentionally used humor in an attempt to calm
herself down.
When her computer
finished booting, Amanda loaded up Tor onto her laptop and typed in the site
again. However, in place of the website, there was a 'Site not found' error.
"It was
there," Amanda said, sounding defeated. All that complaining and nothing
to validate her claims.
"I believe
you," Todd responded as he looked over her shoulder, "Sometimes sites
like this run on a private computer, rather than a server. These sites only run
when their computer is on, so if the computer is off, then the site is gone too."
Amanda nodded.
"I guess I'll have to keep trying. I'll save it to Evernote next time. I
really wish I had at least taken a screen shot. I didn't even think of it
then" She sighed. "Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time."
