That's funny!


On the other hand, LINUX is open source, so if it don't work the way you want, just re-code it.

Windows 98SE

Just like the OS, treat em right, give em lots of attention and maintenance and you'll have lots of smiles. :) Treat em bad with no attention and ignore the maintenance and its nagging headaches. :p

Mac OS does this to, but doesnt look like a cheap Tijuana whore.

But you get the :cookie: for originality.

Just had to post this even though most of you have/should have seen it.


Wife 1.0

Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new
program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and
valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product
brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and
launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system
activity.

Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Boys' Night 2.5 and Sunday Football 5.0
no longer run, crashing the system whenever they are selected. I cannot seem to
keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other
favorite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the
un-install does not work on this program. Can you help me, please?! Thanks, Joe

Dear Joe,
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary
misconception.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0
is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM
and designed by its creator to run everything. It is unlikely you would be able
to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating
files within your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so
nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program
files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do
this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more
problems than the original system. Look in your manual under 'Warnings -
Alimony/Child Support.' I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the
situation.
Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire
section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all
responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their
cause.

The best course of action will be to enter the command C:APOLOGISE. In any
case, avoid excessive use of the ESC key because ultimately you will have to
give the APOLOGISE command before the operating system will return to normal.
The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs.
Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high maintenance.

Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I
recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0. Do not, under any circumstances,
install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for
Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of Luck.

Looking for a different link, I found this to be pretty good, albeit slightly outdated (I like NT :D):

What Operating Systems are Like
_________________________________________________________________

System 7 is like going out on a bad date. Your date is expensive and
at the end of the night you don't even get a good-night kiss.

DOS is like going out with an ugly girl except you know what you're up
against, so you can work around it.

Windows is like going out with the same ugly girl but this time she is
wearing make-up.

Linux is like going out with an ugly girl but you tell all your
friends she is pretty.

Unix is like going out with a ugly girl but she is good in bed.

OS/2 is like going out with a beautiful girl but you have to be well
endowed to get anywhere.

NeXT is like going out with a super model only to find out she speaks
another language and only she knows that language.

VMS is like going out with your Mom.

Chicago is like going out on a blind date. All your friends hype her
up and say that she is better than anyone else you have dated but in
the end she turns out to be ugly.

NT is like trying going out with snobby girl. No matter how endowed
and rich you are, it is not enough to get her to go out with you.

Anything but Longhorn because:
A) She's quite unstable
B) She's nothing like what she claims to be
C) She's underage
