| IF OPERATING SYSTEMS WERE AIRLINES DOS Air: Passengers walk out onto the runway, grab hold of the plane, push it until it gets in the air, hop on, then jump off when it hits the ground. They grab the plane again, push it back into the air, hop on, jump off.... Mac Airways: The cashiers, flight attendants, and pilots look the same. When you ask them questions about the flight, they reply that you don't want to know, don't need to know, and would you please return to your seat and watch the movie. Windows Airlines: The terminal is net and clean, the attendants courteous, the pilots capable. The fleet of Lear jets the carrier operates takes off without a hitch, pushes above the clouds and, at 20.000 feet, explodes without warning. Unix Express: Passengers bring a piece of the airplane and a box of tools with them to the airport. They gather on the tarmac, arguing about what kind of plane the want to build. The passengers split into groups and build several different aircraft but give them all the same name. Only some passengers reach their destinations, but all of them believe they arrived. VMS Airways: What are airplanes???? OpenDoc Airlines: Are you bored with the food on DOS airways? Don't you like the music on Mac Airways? Is the LearJet of Windows airlines to slow? Don't you like the stewardesses on Unix Airlines? If so, take OpenDoc airlines: you get to pick your food, music and stewardesses and plane types. But don't complain if they do not match up. |
