    If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is
    interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your
    floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

    If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

    If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network
    is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel
    to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the
    hall......

    And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

    When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the
    macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to
    flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn
    off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

    Well, that certainly clears things up for me. How about you?

    HAHAH, thats a good one :p Havent heard that one before but how about this...

    At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If GM hadkept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving 25 dollar cars that got 1000 mi/gal."
    Recently General Motors addressed this comment by releasing the statement: "Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?"

    1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.

    2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

    3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too.

    4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT". But, then you would have to buy more seats.

    5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent 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, 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.
