Yup, they'd be doing really neat strobe-effect hypercubes flying
around a 256-color superbitmap of a zit magnified to 10^26 power, with
a super-scroller that says "Look, Ma!  I just learned how to say
@*$&!!!" with full refraction...

By the time we'd know that pirates had their hands on 4.0, they'd have
4.1.  :)

Or paw.  Gould's got more animals than my priest has altar boys.  ;)

Yup.  I heard he was looking at a used Yugo just the other day.  They
wanted $250 for it, but he wanted one with seats and at least ONE
working brake.  :)

Not to mention how many paper cuts that saved the management guys, who
used to have problems tearing off the little squares from the roll of
toilet paper.  One of the management team slit his wrists while drying
his hands, and Gould said that was it--no more paper for these fools.
You know, that reminds me...  I thought those guys' hands looked a
little funny.  Kind of makes you wonder what they're using in place of
toilet paper, these days.

Of course, they'll all say they're using Marc Barrett to wipe
themselves for lack of a better use for him.  :)

Agreed.  Those dim-witted hicks (And I know a hick when I see one,
stuck out here 50 miles from Chickenmilk, Wisconsin.  When Garth
Brooks came to Milwaukee, they had state-wide warnings to watch out
for the pickup trucks.  Three highways were shut down by 13.8 million
rusty, red Chevy S-10's.  Suffice to say that there were a whole lot
of rifles, roadkilled dogs, and rednecks.  You knew they were hiding
somewhere, didn't you?) wouldn't know a good marketing decision if it
sat on their (collective) lap, wiggled on their face, and crushed
their genitals with a high heel.

>Jack Tramiel for President, Commodore International!   

Yeah, right.  Who, of course, will decide that the machine would sell
better if it came without graphics.  After all, people don't need that
anymore.  And then we'll take out the bus, people can always buy a new
system...  Hell, it worked for Apple, those architectural juggernaughts.

>I still like "AOOOOOOGA"    9)

Agreed.  It has that "Let's all jump off of the lighthouse tower and
hang ourselves by the spandex straps on our thong-backed leopardskin
underwear as a protest and statement to US companies sending their
jobs to foreign countries and thusly causing an increase in production
which eventually causes our entire ozone layer to the size of a small
city on an unknown continent named Metropolis, where a little boy has
just realized how much fun it is to inject liquified kryptonite into
the man with the funny suit and decides that he'll try it himself"
appeal to it.

>There has to .... BE ....a better WAY.

There is.  Unfortunately, it involves knowing both the question and
the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything, as well as having a
pocket calculator and a good, working Grand Unification Theory for the
universe.

A few black holes in your pocket wouldn't hurt either.
