MS Windows for the Apple Mackintosh
-----------------------------------
I heard that Microsoft is going to come out with a version of Windows for the
MacIntosh. I can imagine what the advertisements will be:
Are you tired of the user-friendliness of your MacIntosh? Then get Microsoft
Windows for MacIntosh, featuring limited on-line help and poor documentation!
Why settle for intuitive keyboard commands when you can have confusing F-key
combinations? But don't take our word for it--here are some satisfied
customers:
"I couldn't stand all the easy drag-and-click commands on my MacIntosh. Now I
can do everything with wordy commands that only work on one file or directory
at a time!"
-- Ralph Blernson, IBM user for 15 years
"I hated the 'automatic startup' files. Now, I can go back to my AUTOEXEC.BAT
file and pray I've got everything set up right! Plus, MS-Windows even disabled
the Find File command, so I can search all my directories by hand to
find those utilities I lost!"
-- Joey Boring, still using a VT-52
"What's with these 30-odd letter file names? I like MS-Windows much
better; it only lets me use eight characters! Thanks for clearing up the
confusion!"
-- Mark Rodgers, who thinks HP calculators are easy to use
"By using the Memory Mismanagment(TM) utility, I can have my computer ignore
the 32 MB of RAM it's got and only see 640K of it! Just like the good old
days!"
-- Horace Kludge, using the "leading edge" of technology on his WANG
"Multi-tasking? Who needs it? When I run a program, I want it FINISHED
before starting another one! And MS-Windows lets me do that!"
-- Donald Hapershnalzik, still programming in COBOL
"All those fonts on my MacIntosh keep confusing me. But with MS-Windows
there's only one! My word processor is much easier to use now that I have
no choice on the font!"
-- Larry Linkworm, still confused by his VCR
"MS-Windows even disabled the control panels! Once again, my speaker is
set at full volume, and I have no choice on how the displays look! That gives
me lots more time to run the limited programs that work under Windows!"
-- Marty Halfgear, who is fascinated by bright and shiny objects
And look at the other options available:
* Non-standard keyboard commands. It's much more fun to learn new commands
with each new program you get, right?
* Different system requirements for each program, requiring a reboot each time!
* The "3.3" option, which forces you to partition your hard drive into 10MB
segments!
* Limited mouse support
Ms-Windows for MacIntosh. For De-Evolutionary people.
