*****BREAKING NEWS*****

I crash...therefore I am.
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft Corporation, 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 cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Chairman Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving a car with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT." But then you would have to buy more seats.
6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the roads.
7. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car fault" warning light.
8. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.
9. Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lift the door handle, turn the key, and grab hold of the radio antenna.
10. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice department.
11. Every time GM introduced a new model car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
12. You'd press the "start" button to shut off the engine.

Greengoose: That was funny mate, thanx for the laugh https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Here's one I found a few weeks ago:
If Microsoft ran a Bar
You order a beer but won't actually get it until next year.
When you do get your beer, it will only be half-full. When you complain about this, you get charged extra.
You are promised that the next beer you get will not only be full, but will actually brew you more beer. This turns out to be false. You still only get half a beer in a slightly different color of glass. You will probably need to learn how to drink all over again.
Your glass of beer will explode at random intervals. Far from being seen as a fault, this is described by the bar staff as an 'undocumented feature'. You are assured that the next beer you receive will not explode. Of course, it will and it does.
You can only talk to people who are drinking the same beer as you.
You can order a different drink, but you will have to go to another bar.
You've heard that there is another beer called 'Linux Real Lite', which is tastier, comes in a near bottomless glass and is free. But you can't drink it because you'll lose your job. Strangely, you'll keep your job if you continuously get pissed at MS-Bar.
You can become a MS-Beer expert by paying the bar lots of money and then taking a test in which you lie about how good the beer is while overlooking all its faults.
The bar releases NT-Beer, but it is so big that it won't fit on your table. You will have to buy a new table. The glass is still only half full.
For some obscure reason, you keep drinking at MS-Bar.

You Are The Weakest Link....Goodbye!
Hey guys, check this out...It's kinda spooky but just confirms what we knew all along.....Bill Gates is SATAN!!!
Is Bill Gates Really Satan?!
Did you know that Bill Gates' real name is William Henry Gates III?
Nowadays, he is known as Bill Gates (III) where III means the order
of third.
So what's so eerie about this name?
Well, if you take all the letters in Bill Gates III and then convert
it into ASCII code (American Standard Code for Info. Interchange)
and then add up all the numbers ... you will get 666, which is the
number of the beast.
B = 66
I = 73
L = 76
L = 76
G = 71
A = 65
T = 84
E = 69
S = 83
1 = 1
1 = 1
1 = 1
Add these numbers and they equal 666. Coincidence? Perhaps ....
Maybe, but take Windows 95 and do the same procedure and you will
get 666 also. And even MS-DOS 6.31 adds up to 666.
Still think it is coincidence? Stay with me ... it gets better.
For those of you who still have the old excel 95 (not office 97)
try this out: (this really works)
1 - Open a new file
2 - Scroll down to row 95
3 - Click on the row 95 button to highlight the entire row
4 - Press tab to move to the second column
5 - Now, move your mouse and click on help at the top
6 - Then click on "about Microsoft excel"
7 - Press ctrl-alt-shift and click on the tech support button at the same
time.
A window will appear with the title: THE HALL OF TORTURED SOULS.
This is really eerie, okay! It has a doom style format and you can
walk all around the hall using the arrow keys. On the sides of the
walls are the names of the tortured souls .... now walk up the stairs then
come back down, facing the blank wall. Now type in EXCELKFA; this will open
the blank wall to reveal another secret passage, walk through the passage and
do not fall off. This is difficult to do. When you get the end you will see
something really, really eerie.
As of this point in time, countless witnesses all over the world
have verified that it is a real eye opener. It could be a joke by MS
programmers. Or is it?
Would it be too surprising if Bill Gates was the antichrist?
After all, the bible foretold that someone powerful would rise up and lead
the world to destruction. And Bill Gates definitely has this kind of power
in his hands. More than 80% of computers in the world today run on windows and
DOS (including those at the Pentagon). If all of his products have some kind
of small program embedded, like this "hall of tortured souls," that can give
him control to set off nuclear arsenals,create havoc in security systems and
financial systems all over the world, etc. All from his headquarters.
This isn't too far from reality. Just by using the Internet Explorer may
just allow him to map out what you have on your computer bit by bit each time
you log on. Perhaps the end of time is near and this is just the tip
of the iceberg?
Quote from the Bible:
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and
slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so
that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name
of
the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone
has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is
man's number.
His number is 666." Revelation 13:16-18
This is something you should think about. If the Bible, in the
book
Of Revelations, says that without the sign of the beast, one would
not be able to buy, sell, do business transactions, etc., then my
question to you now is this ....
Is the Internet a necessity today for doing business? The Internet
also bears the sign. Note that the Internet is often referred to
as the World wide web, or www. Another way to write W is V/ or VI
w w w
VI VI VI
6 6 6
Here is something to ponder. Isn't everything going towards the
Internet? (i.e., buying, selling, business transactions) Isn't
Microsoft always on the move to have a monopoly when it comes to
software technology?
And now the Internet?
Revelations also says that the mark of the beast will be carved on
one's hand and on one's forehead. If the Internet would indeed be the
beast, aren't we all starting to carry it on our hands and foreheads?
The screen is the forehead and the hand uses the mouse.
Are things finally starting to fall into place or are we just
letting our imagination run???? Remember, the devil came to cheat, steal
and to destroy. So, be vigilant about Bill Gates and Microsoft!
Coincidence? Perhaps ....
