If Operating Systems Ran the Airlines



hi,
i just had to send this to the mailing list. forgive me.
(i hope it makes you smile :o)


an updated version of the old favorite...

If OS's Ran the Airlines

Linux Air
Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their
own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the
runways themselve. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing
the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself.When
you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a
copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is
very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single
problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of
the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is "You
had to do what with the seat?"

UNIX Airways
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the
airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece
by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to
be building.

Air DOS
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let
the plane coast untill it hits the ground again. They the push again,
jump on again, and so on...

Mac Airlines
All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and
act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you
are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to
know, and everything will be done for you without your ever haveing to
know, so just shut up.

Windows Air
The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy
baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10
minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.

WindowsNT Air
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and
takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it
explodes.
