WHAT DRIVING TO THE STORE WOULD BE LIKE IF OPERATING SYSTEMS RAN YOUR
CAR

  MS-DOS: You get in the car and try to remember where you put your
  keys.

  Windows: You get in the car and drive to the store very slowly,
  because
   attached to the back of the car is a freight train.

   Macintosh System 7: You get in the car to go to the store, and the
   car drives you to church.

  UNIX: You get in the car and type GREP STORE. After reaching
  speeds of
   200 miles per hour en route, you arrive at the barber shop.

  Windows NT: You get in the car and write a letter that says, "go to
  the
   store." Then you get out of the car and mail the letter to your
   dashboard.
     

  Taligent/Pink: You walk to the store with Ricardo Montalban, who
  tells
   you how wonderful it will be when he can fly you to the store in
   his Learjet.

  OS/2: After fueling up with 6000 gallons of gas, you get in the car
  and
   drive to the store with a motorcycle escort and a marching band in
   procession. Halfway there, the car blows up, killing everybody in
   town.

  S/36 SSP [mainframe, obv.]: You get in the car and drive to the
  store.
    Halfway there you run out of gas. While walking the rest of the
    way, you are run over by kids on mopeds
