Listen here Penguin Pusher!
If it wasn't for MS, we would all have 386s that would cost $6000. He took a program and brought the dirt cheap hardware alive. Even the Stevens at Apple were too expensive at the time. Unix wasn't about to leave the lucrative mainframe platform. They were too busy laughing at the "TOY" and got bitten. GOOD. Now all the unemployed, fanboys and governments are trying to unseat MS. Microsoft isn't laughing. They are too busy holding you guys in check. And I thinks it is great.

The internet before the micro processor revolution was run on vacuum tubes and magnetic relays. Heck there were Soviet cloned PDP-8s running on vacuum tubes and all the operators were getting off on green screen porno ascii art. All the monitors had to be installed with a crane. They weighed 800 lbs and were fron Raytheon and Fairchild. As I look across the base hearing my teletype clattering for my next orders to come in, I see an F86 Saber deploy his drag chute.

The only one that isn't contributing is you, mikey. You haven't spoke the truth since day one. You have to fire your writers. Repeating your humor is what little kids do.
