Cows

_HARDWARE COW_ You buy a new cow - its costs loads of money but for a while it gives the best milk for miles around, and is super quick too. Gradually its performance drops, you get less milk, it takes longer to milk, it starts making strange noises and sometimes it wont even start! You buy another 'better' new cow at great expense and use the old one as a door stop.... Repeat until you have so many door stops, that you can no longer enter room! :-D

22 Economic Models Explained _SOCIALISM_ You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour. _COMMUNISM_ You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. _FASCISM _ You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. _NAZISM_ You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you. _BUREAUCRATISM_ You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away. _TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM_ You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. _SURREALISM_ You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons. _AN AMERICAN CORPORATION_ You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead. _ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND VENTURE CAPITALISM_ You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of Credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull.. _A FRENCH CORPORATION_ You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows. _A JAPANESE CORPORATION_ You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and Produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide. _A GERMAN CORPORATION_ You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves. _AN ITALIAN CORPORATION_ You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch. _A RUSSIAN CORPORATION_ You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vo
_BRAZILIAN CORPORATION_ You have 2 cows. The first one is kidnapped and the gangsters ask you a ransom of 4 cows. You complain to the police. The police takes the 2nd cow for investigation and never gives it back.

There is going to have to be a gathering you know. You and Anna are from the South, there is Pete from t'Grim North, I am from The Home Counties, there are lots of others from all over, perhaps converge somewhere in the midlands for a Curry and Beer Fest?

_MICROSOFT COWS__ You have two cows. But you only have a license to use them on one farm at a time, and once transported to that farm, cannot be used on any other farm. The 2nd cow is a virtual cow, and can only run on a virtual farm. Cows are updated occasionally, but your existing cows must typically be replaced in their entirety to avoid problems. You are disallowed from selling your cows or even giving them away. At times the cows stop for no apparent reason, and booting them is your only recourse. Sometimes, the cows won't run when they're in the same pen. No matter what you feed your cows, they still generate the same basic output. New cows often come with "enhancements", but tell me - what good is a 5th leg when it's growing from the side of the cow's head and doesn't even reach the ground? And what cow really wants an extra horn where Microsoft decided to put it? It looks REAL uncomfortable. When the cow dies (and it will - repeatedly), you almost always need to get a new one.

I know - I did drop an email at Riverblade with contact details, but I guess it didn't get to you in time. It's a shame because I was looking forward to it.
