- Operating Environment Humour??!!
- --------------------------------
-
- What DRIVING TO THE STORE would be like
- if operating systems ran your car......
-
- MS-DOS
- You get in the car and try to remeber where to put your keys.
-
- Windows
- You get in the car and drive to the store very slowly, because attached
- to the back of the car is a freight train.
-
- MacIntosh System 7
- You get in the car to go to the store, and the car drives to the curch.
-
- UNIX
- You get in the car and type GREP STORE. After reaching speeds of 200
- miles per hour en route, you arrive at the barber shop.
-
- Windows NT
- You get in the car and write a letter that says, "go to the store."
- Then you get out of the car and mail the letter to your dashboard.
-
- Taligent/Pink
- You walk to the store with Ricardo Montalban, who tells you how
- wonderful it will be when he can fly you to the store in his LearJet.
-
- OS/2 1.x
- After fueling up with 6000 gallons of gas, you get in the car and
- drive to the store with a motorcycle escort and a marching band
- in procession. Halfway there, the car blows up, killing everybody
- in town.
-
- OS/2 2.0
- Same procedure, but the car blows up right in front of the store.
-
- S/36
- You get in the car and drive to the store. Halfway there you run
- out of gas. While walking the rest of the way, you are run over by
- kids on mopeds.
-
- OS/400
- An attendant locks you into your car and then drives you to the store
- where you get to watch everybody else buy filet mignons.
-
- MVS
- You get in your car and drive to the bus stop. There you wait 4e4
- for the next bus to take you there by batch.
-
- Happy new year.......
