If Microsoft built cars....
1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you'd have
to restart it. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this and carry on.
3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail
to restart and you'd have to reinstall the engine. For some strange reason,
you'd just accept this too.
4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought a "Car 97"
or a "Car NT", but then you'd have to buy more seats.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was twice as fast,
twice as easy to drive, but it would only run on 5% of the roads.
6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars,
which would make their cars run much slower.
7. The oil, engine, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by
a single "general car default" warning light.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
9. The airbag system would say, "Are you sure?" before going off.
10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.
Bill Gates dies. Goes to St. Peter. St. Peter says, "we don't know where to send you. You've been both good and bad. So, we decided to let you decide between heaven and hell." Gates says, "can I preview them first?" St. Peter allows a preview, and off they go to hell. In hell, they are on a beach with lots of bikini clad women. Gates likes this. Then off to heaven. There, the angels are lying on clouds playing thier harps. Gates tells St. Peter, "This is nice, but a little dull. I liked hell better. Can I go to hell?" St. Peter agrees and sends him back down to hell. Three weeks later, St. Peter decides to go check on Gates. When he arrives in hell, there is Bill Gates tied to a stake, surrounded by fire, and being wiped and beaten by angry people. Gates yells to St. Peter, "Help me. Help me. Where are the bikini clad women?
This is not what I wanted." St. Peter replies, "Oh, that was the screen saver."
Bill Gates and the president of General Motors were attending a
Q and A session during a business conference. Gates boasted of the
innovations his company had made. "If GM had kept up with
technology the way Microsoft has," gates bragged, "we'd all
be driving $25 cars that get 1000 miles per gallon."
"I suppose that's true," the GM executive agreed.
"But would you really want your car to crash twice a day?"

Computers Gender...
A pastor of one church who was previously a sailor, was very aware that ships are addressed as "she" and "her". He often wondered what gender computers should be addressed. To answer that question, he set up two groups of computer experts.
The first was comprised of women, and the second of men. Each group was asked to recommend whether computers should be referred to in the feminine gender, or the masculine gender. They were asked to give 4 reasons for their recommendation.
The group of women reported that the computers should be referred to in the masculine gender 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 realize that, if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model.
The men, on the other hand concluded that Computers should be referred to in the feminine gender because:
1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone 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.
Apes and Software...
Start with a cage containing five apes.
In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put stairs under it. Before long, an ape will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana, but as soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the apes with cold water. After a while, another ape makes an attempt with the same result -- all the apes are sprayed with cold water.
Turn off the cold water.
If, later, another ape tries to climb the stairs, the other apes will try to prevent it even though no water sprays them. Now, remove one ape from the cage and replace it with a new one.
The new ape sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other apes attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five apes and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.
Again, replace a third original ape with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four apes that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest ape. After replacing the fourth and fifth original apes, all the apes which have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced.
Nevertheless, no ape ever again approaches the stairs. Why not?
"Because that's the way it's always been around here."
May be some one can explain this joke to me,, I dont get it?? --Haresh
