    So I just read this...

    and thought everyone should too.
    IF AIRLINES WERE LIKE OPERATING SYSTEMS...

    UNIX Airways

    Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the
    airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together
    piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are
    supposed to be building.

    Air DOS

    Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and
    let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push
    again, jump on again, and so on ...

    Mac Airlines

    All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look
    and act exactly the same. Every time you ask detailed questions, you
    are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to
    know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to
    know, so just shut up.

    Windows Air

    The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy
    baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10
    minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.

    Windows NT Air

    Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and
    takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it
    explodes.

    Linux Air

    Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start
    their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave
    the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of
    printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket
    yourself.

    When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench
    and a copy of SEAT-HOWTO.TXT. Once installed, the fully adjustable seat
    is very comfortable. The plane leaves and arrives on time without a
    single problem and the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell
    customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can
    say is, "You had to do *what* with the seat?"
    "Today you are freer than ever to do what you want, provided you can pay for it!" --Bad Religion
