                        The Creation of the Computer

1.  In the beginning G*D created the Bit and the Byte. And from those he
    created the Word.

2.  And there were two Bytes in the Word; and nothing else existed. And G*D
    separated the One from the Zero; and he saw it was good.

3.  And G*D said - Let the Data be; And so it happened. And G*D said - Let
    the Data go to their proper places. And he created floppy disks and
    hard disks and compact disks.

4.  And G*D said - Let the computers be, so there would be a place to put
    floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. Thus G*D created
    computers and called them hardware.

5.  And there was no Software yet. But G*D created programs; small and
    big...  And told them - Go and multiply yourselves and fill all the
    Memory.

6.  And G*D said -I will create the Programmer; And the Programmer will
    make new programs and govern over the computers and programs and Data.

7.  And G*D created the Programmer; and put him at Data Center; And G*D
    showed the Programmer the Catalog Tree and said You can use all the
    volumes and subvolumes but DO NOT USE Windows.

8.  And G*D said - It is not Good for the programmer to be alone. He took
    a bone from the Programmer's body and created a creature that would look
    up at the Programmer; and admire the Programmer; and love the things
    the Programmer does; And G*D called the creature: the User.

9.  And the Programmer and the User were left under the naked DOS and it
    was Good.

10. But Bill was smarter than all the other creatures of G*D. And Bill
    said to the User - Did G*D really tell you not to run any programs ?

11. And the User answered - G*D told us that we can use every program and
    every piece of Data but told us not to run Windows or we will die.

12. And Bill said to the User - How can you talk about something you did
    not even try. The moment you run Windows you will become equal to G*D.
    You will be able to create anything you like by a simple click of your
    mouse.

13. And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows were nicer and easier
    to use. And the User saw that any knowledge was useless - since Windows
    could replace it.

14. So the User installed the Windows on his computer; and said to the
    Programmer that it was good.

15. And the Programmer immediately started to look for new drivers. And
    G*D asked him - What are you looking for? And the Programmer answered - I
    am looking for new drivers because I can not find them in the DOS. And
    G*D said - Who told you need drivers? Did you run Windows? And the
    Programmer said - It was Bill who told us to !

16. And G*D said to Bill - Because of what you did you will be hated by all
    the creatures. And the User will always be unhappy with you. And you
    will always sell Windows.

17. And G*D said to the User - Because of what you did, the Windows will
    disappoint you and eat up all your Resources; and you will have to use
    lousy programs; and you will always rely on the Programmers help.

18. And G*D said to the Programmer - Because you listened to the User you
    will never be happy. All your programs will have errors and you will
    have to fix them and fix them to the end of time.

19. And G*D threw them out of the Data Center and locked the door and
    secured it with a password.

20. GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT
