I'd love to know where the "captain's quarters" is located on Hiroshi's
driver, or maybe the crew's quarters (you know, so we can check to be sure
they've left, and they're not just asleep or something). And perhaps
Hiroshi left his navigation charts with someone before he set sail, so we'll
know where to send the search parties?

We should also check to see where he left the letter that states that he has
indeed abandoned his software on the high seas, or where he rejects his
copyright...

I can't help thinking there were once real ships on the real high seas that
were "abandoned" -- after the crew were overboarded by pirates. Perhaps if
we take the step suggested, we may prove to be guilty of making Hiroshi walk
the plank. The noose awaits us ...

Imaginative use of metaphors are entertaining but they can lead us astray
just as easily as they can illuminate a subject.

 
Shalom.
