memNOC Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 on one of my many voyages around Google groups for classic old and interesting material, i stumbled upon all sorts of jokes concerning Microsoft and their new "revolutionizing" OS that was bound to ship out soon.. i dont even know from what newsgroup i dug this up from.. anyway, here is what a 94 Microsoft joke looked like.. :laugh: ----------------------------------------- Date: 1994-10-17 15:04:23 PST ----------------------------------------- THE TOP 11 THINGS PEOPLE THINK THE "95" IN WINDOWS95 REALLY STANDS FOR --------------------------------------- 11. The percentage that will be complete on the shipping date. 10. The number floppies it will ship on. 9. The percentage of people who will have to upgrade their hardware. 8. The number of megabytes of hard disk space required. 7. The number of pages in the *EASY-INSTALL* version of the manual. 6. The percentage of existing Windows programs that won't run in the new OS. 5. The number of minutes to install. 4. The number of calls to tech support before you can get it to run. 3. The number of people who will actually PAY for the upgrade. 2. The number Mhz required for the OS to run. And now the #1 thing people think the "95" in Windows95 really stands for.. (Anton, a drum roll please...) 1. The year it was *DUE* to ship. ----------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
