That reminds me of a humorous email my brother sent me shortly after he helped set me up with a PC for home. I've been using CAD/CAM systems for over 20+ year's, but didn't get one for myself until he helped me build one.

Long story short, Vista didn't even want to load. I'm looking at him, asking what now. He then proceeds to load the box with Red Hat Linux. (Not recommended for a plug & play setup.)

So, a couple of weeks of a steep learning curve later, he sends me a funny about how the computer companies decided to get into the microwave and TV dinner market. It went in alphabetical order....

With the Apple system, you selected the dinner you wanted, loaded into the oven, and pressed start. The oven then read the label to determine which dinner you had selected, makes whatever adjustments it needed to, and cooks the dinner to perfection.

With the Linux oven, you would look at the settings menu, input just how you wanted your dinner cooked, then enjoy.

With the Windows oven, the only dinner they offer is the chicken one. No matter what dinner you actually wanted, all you really need is the chicken. You read the label, input the time, and hope for the best. (Insert sound track, ZZ Top "TV dinners").

I may have missed some small stuff, but I think the tech types will enjoy that......

Aw, dang it, now you got me started; here's one that's been circling the planet for a few years...

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 got 1,000 miles to the gallon, they would run on a V-32 instead of a V-8, and would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........
Four times a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvrer 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. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

I love the next one!!!

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced 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.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

And now Microsoft is cutting 18000 Nokia jobs. I guess Nokia is pretty much going out the window

Don't know why, I had a 3210 when I was 10. I put it through the washing machine twice and dropped it down concrete subway steps. It still worked fine. The old phones are like captain scarlet lol. I'm on a moto g. Really good phones for £100 pay as you go. BTW great work sid. Your really know your stuff....
