It must | be Truth (tm). | | | -------------Forwarded Message----------------- | | This came to me, and I almost deleted it, then I remembered, was it your | Dad who had such distain for Windows compared to DOS? Anyway, if that's | correct, maybe he would like this. | Rick | | | CREATION OF THE COMPUTER: | | 1. In the beginning, GOD created the Bit and the Byte. And | from those He created the Word. | | 2. And there were two Bytes in the Word; and nothing else | existed. And GOD separated the One from the Zero; and He | saw it was good. | | 3. And GOD said - Let the Data be; And so it happened. | And GOD Let the Data go to their proper places. | And He created floppy disks, hard disks and compact disks. | | 4. And GOD said - Let the computers be, so there would be | a place to put floppy disks and hard disks and compact | disks. Thus, GOD created computers and called | them hardware. | | 5. And there was no software yet. But GOD created | programs; small and big... And told them - go and | multiply yourselves and fill all the memory. | | 6. And GOD said - I will create the Programmer; And the | Programmer will make new programs and govern over the | computers and programs and Data. | | 7. And GOD created the Programmer; and put him at | Data Center; And GOD showed the Programmer | the Catalog Tree and said You can use all the volumes and | sub-volumes, but DO NOT USE Windows. | | 8. And GOD said - It is not good for the Programmer to be | alone. He took a bone from the Programmer's body and | created a creature that would look at the Programmer; and | admire the Programmer; and love the things the Programmer | does; And GOD called the creature: the User. | | 9. And the Programmer and the User were left under the | naked DOS, and it was Good. | | 10. But, Bill was smarter than all the other creatures of | God. And Bill said to the User - Did God really tell you | not to run any programs? | | 11. And the User answered - God told us that we can use | every program and every piece of Data but told us not to | run Windows or we will die. | | 12. And Bill said to the User - How can you talk about | something you did not even try? The moment you run | Windows you will become equal to GOD. | You will be able to create anything you like by a | simple click of your mouse. | | 13. And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows | were nicer and easier to use. And the User saw that any | knowledge was useless since Windows could replace it. | | 14. So, the User installed the Windows on his | computer; and said to the Programmer that it was good. | | 15. And the Programmer immediately started to look for | new drivers. And GOD asked him - What are you looking | for? And the Programmer answered - I am looking for new | drivers because I cannot find them in the DOS. And GOD | said - Who told you you need drivers? Did you run | Windows? And the Programmer said - It was Bill who told | us to! | | 16. And GOD said to Bill - Because of what you did, you | will be hated by all the creatures. And the User will | always be unhappy with you. And you will always sell | Windows. | | 17. And GOD said to the User - Because of what you did, | the Windows will disappoint you and eat up all your | Resources; and you will have to use lousy programs; and | you will always rely on the Programmer's help. | | 18. And GOD said to the Programmer - Because you listened | to the User, you will never be happy. All your programs | will have errors and you will have to fix them and fix | them to the end of time. | | 19. And GOD threw them out of the Data Center and locked | the door and secured it with a password. | | | | Tom | Alpine, W.
