Gates talks to God

Bill Gates died and went to stand before God... 

God stood over Bill Gates and said, "Well, Bill, I'm really confused on
this one. It's a tough decision...I'm not
sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you helped
society enormously by putting a computer in
almost every home in America, yet you also created that Windows95, among
other things. I believe I'll do
something I've never done before... I'll let YOU decide where you want
to go." 

Bill pushed up his glasses, looked at God and replied, "Could you
briefly explain the difference between the two?"

God said, "I'll do better than that. I'll let you visit both places
briefly, then you can make your decision. Which
do you want to visit first...Heaven or Hell?" 

Bill said, "I think I'll try Hell first." 

So, with a flash of lightning and a cloud of smoke, Bill Gates went to
Hell. 

When he materialized in Hell, Bill looked around. It was a beautiful and
clean place...a bit warm...with sandy
beaches and tall mountains, clear skies, pristine water and beautiful
women frolicking about. A smile came
across Bill's face as he took in a deep breath of the clean air. "This
is great!", he thought. "If this is Hell, then I
can't wait to see Heaven." 

Within a second of his thought, there was another flash of lightning and
Bill was off to Heaven. Heaven was a
place high in the clouds where angels were drifting about playing on
their harps and singing in a beautiful
chorus. It was a very nice place, Bill thought, but not as enticing as
Hell. 

Bill cupped his hands, called out his decision to God and Bill Gates was
sent to Hell for eternity. 

Time passed and God decided to check up on Bill to see how he was
getting along in Hell. When he got there, he
found Bill Gates shackled to a wall in a dark cave amid bone thin men
and tongues of fire, being burned and
tortured by demons. 

"So...how is everything going?", God asked. 

Bill responded in a cracking voice filled with anguish and
disappointment, "This is awful! It's NOTHING like
the Hell I visited the first time! I can't believe this is happening!
What happened to the other place... with the
beaches and the mountains and the beautiful women?" 

"That was the demo," replied God.
