Guest LB Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 If Operating Systems Ran Airlines...DOS AirlinesPassengers are handed maps, compasses, rulers, pencils, and anairplane manual (shrink- wrapped) as they enter the plane. They haveto figure out how to get the plane to wherever they want to go. Somesucceed very well. Others crash, but they shouldn't have been messingaround with airplanes anyway.Maclntosh AirlinesAll the stewards, stewardesses, captains, baggage handlers, and ticketagents look the same, act the same, and talk the same. Every time youask questions about details, you are told you don't need to know,don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without youhaving to know, so just shut up.OS/2 AirlinesIf you succeed in getting on board the plane and the plane succeedsgetting off the ground, you have a wonderful trip ...Windows AirlinesThe airport terminal is nice and colorful, with friendly stewards andstewardesses, easy access to the plane, and an uneventful takeoff...then the plane blows up without any warning whatsoever.NT AirlinesEveryone marches out on the runway, says the password in unison, andforms the outline of a plane. Then they all sit down and make awhooshing sound like they're flying.UNIX AirlinesEveryone brings one piece of the plane with them when they come to theairport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane togetherpiece by piece, arguing constantly about what kind of plane they arebuilding.
