I didn't bite the Apple of Eden...

Read this on Gracie's blog . She's a Mac user... Snide if you ask me.

At the beginning God created the Bit and the Byte. And from those He created the word. And there were 2 bytes in a word, nothing else was there. Then God seperated 0 from 1 and saw that this was good.

And then God said "Let there be Data", and so it became. And He said "Let the Data go where they belong", and He made floppy disks, compact disks and hard disks. Then God said "Let there be a place for those disks to be", and computers came to be. God named them hardware and saw that this was good.

But God saw that there was no software yet. And He made programs, small and large and He said "Go and multiply and fill all of the memory". Then God said "I'll create the programmer and he will rule upon all the data, computers and programs". And God created the programmer and placed him at the Heavenly Server. And He taught the programmer to use the catalog tree and all the files and sub-files but told him never to use Windows.

Then God thought "It isn't a good thing for the programmer to be alone. I will create a creature that will love and admire the programmer and his creations". And God created the User. And both the User and the Programmer were left upon the naked DOS and that was good.

But Bill were more cunning than the rest of God's creations. And Bill told the User "Did God really allow you to use any program that you like?". And the User said "Yes, God allows us to use any program we like except the windows for great trouble will be upon us". And Bill told the user "How you talk about something you never used? By the time you will use windows you will be able to do anything you like with a simple mouse click. You will be equal to God". And the user saw that windows were very easy to use and that all knowledge was unnecessary since they could replace it.

So it came to be that the User installed Windows in his computer and told the programmer that it was good. And the programmer start looking for new drivers. And God which saw him asked "What do you need?" and the programmer said "I need new drivers". God said "Who told you that you need new drivers, you installed windows?" and the programmer said "Bill told us to do it!".

Then God said to Bill "For what you did all the creatures will hate you. And all the users will not like you. And you will always sell windows". And then God told the user "For what you did windows will always dissapoint you and use all the resources and you will use pathetic programs, while you will always depend on the programmer for help". And last He told the programmer "Because you listened to the User your programs will always have faults and you will have to correct them until the end of days".

And God threw them out of the Heavenly Server and locked the door and secured it with password.

GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT.
