If Microsoft made toasters...

Every time you bought a loaf of bread, you would have to buy a toaster. You wouldn't have to take the toaster, but you'd still have to pay for it anyway. Toaster'95 would weigh 15000 pounds (hence requiring a reinforced steel countertop), draw enough electricity to power a small city, take up 95% of the space in your kitchen, would claim to be the first toaster that let's you control how light or dark you want your toast to be, and would secretly interrogate your other appliances to find out who made them. Everyone would hate Microsoft toasters, but nonetheless would buy them since most of the good bread only works with their toasters.

If IBM made toasters...

They would want one big toaster where people bring bread to be submitted for overnight toasting. IBM would claim a worldwide market for five, maybe six toasters.

Two groups of computer experts were set up in order to find out whether computer is male or female: one group was male, and the other group was female.

The group of women reported that computers should be refereed to as "HE" because:

1. In order to get their attention you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they are the problem.
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a newer and better model.

The group of men reported that computers should be refered to as "SHE" because:

1. No one but the creator understands their logic.
2. The native language they use to talk to other computers is incomprehensible to anyone else.
3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for later retrieval.
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

What do you get when you cross a hooker with a systems engineer?

A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said:

- If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess.

He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said:

- If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero

The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said:

- If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week.

The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.

The frog then cried out:

- If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want.

Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked:

- What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?

The man said:

- Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool.

This is an actual alert to IBM Field Engineers that went out to all IBM Branch Offices. The person who wrote it was very serious. The rest of us may find it rather funny.

Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)

Mouse balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse maybe used immediately.

It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction, and that any customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items.

- Costello: Hey, Abbott!

- Abbot: Yes, Lou?

- Costello: I just got my first computer.

- Abbot: That's great Lou. What did you get?

- Costello: A Pentium II-266, with 40 Megs of RAM, a 2.1 Gig hard drive, and a 24X CD-ROM.

- Abbot: That's terrific, Lou.

- Costello: But I don't know what any of it means!!

- Abbot: You will in time.

- Costello: That's exactly why I am here to see you.

- Abbot: Oh?

- Costello: I heard that you are a real computer expert.

- Abbot: Well, I don't know-

- Costello: Yes-sir-ee. You know your stuff. And you're going to train me.

- Abbot: Really?

- Costello: Uh huh. And I am here for my first lesson.

- Abbot: O.K. Lou. What do you want to know?

- Costello: I am having no problem turning it on, but I heard that you should be very careful how you turn it off.

- Abbot: That's true.

- Costello: So, here I am working on my new computer and I want to turn it off. What do I do?

- Abbot: Well, first you press the Start button, and then-

- Costello: No, I told you, I want to turn it off.

- Abbot: I know, you press the Start button-

- Costello: Wait a second. I want to turn it off. Off. I know how to start it. So tell me what to do.

- Abbot: I did.

- Costello: When?

- Abbot: When I told you to press the Start button.

- Costello: Why should I press the Start button?

- Abbot: To shut off the computer.

- Costello: I press Start to stop.

- Abbot: Well Start doesn't actually stop the computer.

- Costello: I knew it! So what do I press.

- Abbot: Start

- Costello: Start what?

- Abbot: Start button.

- Costello: Start button to do what?

- Abbot: Shut down.

- Costello: You don't have to get rude!

- Abbot: No, no, no! That's not what I meant.

- Costello: Then say what you mean.

- Abbot: To shut down the computer, press-

- Costello: Don't say, "Start!"

- Abbot: Then what do you want me to say?

- Costello: Look, if I want to turn off the computer, I am willing to press the Stop button, the End button and Cease and Desist button, but no one in their right mind presses the Start to Stop.

- Abbot: But that's what you do.

- Costello: And you probably Go at Stop signs, and Stop at green lights.

- Abbot: Don't be ridiculous.

- Costello: I am being ridiculous? Well. I think it's about time we started this conversation.

- Abbot: What are you talking about?

- Costello: I am starting this conversation right now. Good-bye.

At a recent computer expo (Comdex), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated:

- If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that get 100 miles to the gallon.

Recently, General Motors addresses this comment by releasing this statement:

- yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?

Below is a synopsis of the Microsoft Car:

• Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.
• Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.
• Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail, and you would have to re-install the engine. for some strange reason, you would accept this too.
• You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT". But then you would have to buy more seats.
• Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times faster, twice as easy to drive, but would only run on 5% of the roads.
• The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades for their cars, which would make their cars run much slower.
• The oil, gas and alternator lights would be replaced with single "general car fault" lights.
• The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.
• If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.
