I gave you a 5 not because it was funny but for originality and boldness and also to offset all the 1s.

You'll have to excuse the univoter wonders who fail to realize that the man who is to remain unnamed is largely responsible for the computers they have on their desks. Regardless of his motives (profit, etc) if it wasn't for the unnamed man we'd still be using 286 computers with green screens and we'd all still be shelling out $1500 for Lotus/DB IV/Word Perfect. It was the separation of the OS from the Hardware that was a key moment in making computers a household toy. Without the resulting competition IBM would have been able to continually repackage teh same over-priced bullshit forever - and without the PC competition a B&W 512 Apple Mac would still be $10K. The man deserves some respect - and probably a good beat down as well - however, the reflexive univoters deserve only the beat down.

But when the joke sucks that bad, you are forced to whip out the Big Red One.

Amen. I remember the joy of setting DIP swithes on a dot matrix printer, and pray it would work with each new program. Edit: I did not 1 vote, but I can understand them. I didn't find the joke disrepectful. Just way too far from being remotely funny.
