Thought this would amuse you guys:
What Would Be Different if Joseph Lucas Had Inented the PC?
1. PC wiring would be considered tasty by rodents.
2. PC's would have a positive ground system.
3. PC's would smell unusual in humid weather.
4. PC's would be required to have "on-board" fire extinguisher
systems by fire codes.
5. "Haynes" would publish repair manuals on PC's.
6. Slide rules would still be common.
7. The most popular PC operating system would be "Windows for
Wankers."
8. "Mr. Bean" would be the top Lucas Software engineer.
9. PC repairmen would carry astrology handbooks and be universally
shunned by life insurance companies.
10. The ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere would be ten times
thicker because of PC emissions and sun tan oil companies would have
numerous lawsuits pending against Lucas.
PS. Being a Mac user, I'd say number 7 is already true!
Cheers,
