Aeroplanes and Operating System

[dude]

I found something hilarious on the internet. Check this out people. What if aeroplanes were run by the common operating systems that we have come to know?

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 until it hits the ground again. Then they 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 having 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.

Windows NT 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.

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 themselves. 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?"

lol, that was really funny. Here is another site full of tons of jokes and stories on computer stuffs.

[http://rinkworks.com/stupid/]

Here are some from the site:
------------------------------------------------

Tech Support: "What operating system are you running? Windows 95?"
Customer: (a little too excited) "95, 97, 98, I've got them all!"
After conferring with her husband, it turned out she owned a Macintosh with System 8.1.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Customer: "I don't use DOS. What would happen if I deleted that directory?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend: "Does Windows 98 support Linux?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Customer: "Do you sell Mac OS X for Windows?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overheard in a classroom:

Student: "How much do Windows cost, and do you have to buy each one separately?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer: "How much do Windows cost?"
Tech Support: "Windows costs about $100."
Customer: "Oh, that's kind of expensive. Can I buy just one window?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend: "Hey, cool Mac! Does it have Windows!?"
Me: (incredulous stare)
Friend: "Oh, wait, that was stupid. All Macs have Windows."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Customer: (angrily) "You said I would get 98 windows with this computer. Where are they?"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A customer called in with modem problems.


Tech Support: "Ok, we're going to check your modem settings. First thing we need to do is make sure all programs are closed."
Customer: "How do I know if everything is closed?"
Me: "Make sure all windows are closed."
Customer: "But...I'm in the basement. I don't have any windows here."
Lucky me, I made it to the the mute button in time!
