soapbox Posted April 21, 2001 Posted April 21, 2001 1) Gates deceived the inventor of DOS when buying the OS by not telling him that he had a MAJOR distribution deal with IBM. He bought the OS for a song and made a mint! 2) Apple had the decency to license the graphic user interface from Xerox, but Gates and company just ripped it off. They must have paid off the judge when Apple sued them, because they got to legally distribute Windows when they had no leg to stand on. 3) Microsoft drove Netscape out of business and eliminated any chance of anyone else jumping into the browser market, so we consumers had better like Internet Explorer or else! If you own a PC, you certainly must be either a sheep or a spawn of Satan. Either way, youre an idiot. (Just playing Davids game. Isnt this some kind of therapy technique? Happy Troll Season!)

Guest Posted April 21, 2001 Posted April 21, 2001 Bill Gates is Satan? Isn't that a Kirkism (dramatically stating the utterly obvious)? Damn this water is WET! Wait a sec...I've got Windows and most of my "studio" runs on Windows...am I a Bogomil? -CB

Dave Bryce Posted April 22, 2001 Posted April 22, 2001 Bill Gates dies. He finds himself in a hallway with two doors. Saint Peter is there, and asks him if he'd like to go to Heaven, or Hell. Bill replies that of course he wants to go to Heaven. St. Peter replies, "Sure, no problem, but perhaps you'd like to see Hell first before you make your final decision, just for grins...it might surprise you. No obligation." Gates agrees. So, they open one door, which leads to an elevator that goes straight down. The doors open, and it's beautiful! Sunny meadows, babbling brooks, flora, fauna - the whole nine yards. The doors of the elevator close, and they start to ascend. Gates says, "Hey, I had no idea that it was so nice - I wanna go there!" Saint Peter looks at him, and says, "Are you sure? Final answer?" Gates replies, "Yep. Final answer." So, they head back down. The doors open, and sure enough - fire, brimstone, lava - everything that you'd expect. St. Peter starts to push the now terrified Gates out of the elevator. Bill screams at him, "Hey! What happened to what you showed me before?" St. Peter looks at him, smiles and replies, "Oh...that was the demo." dB Mac guy ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network
dansouth Posted April 22, 2001 Posted April 22, 2001 I hope he IS Satan. That means that hell will be full of bugs, and you'll always have to wait for the next release of the punishment software to experience the agony they promised you. And of course, that release won't work either. To paraphrase Woodie Allen, "I don't know if there is a hell, but I'm taking my Ti G4 just in case."
