Someone here is bound to be
interested in this
It's from http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/indexjoke.htm
Dear
Reader:
The Micro$oft "Hapathy" virus
is an old virus. http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/index.htm has assigned it a HIGH risk assessment.
Due to recently revealed
material released in the Micro$oft anti-trust trial, it has been discovered that
the Windows operating system is actually a malicious form of virus known as a
"hapathy" virus. This virus has been determined to induce "hapathy" in
users who install any version of the Micro$oft Windows operating system.
For the two people in the
United States who are unaware of what Windows is, it is a 32-bit extension of a
16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system written for a 4-bit microprocessor by
a 2-bit company that can't stand 1-bit of competition (my apologies to the
(unknown) author of this description).
Symptoms of the virus include:
- Inability to admit that other, http://www.linux.org/ exist.
- A curious belief that the dreaded "blue screen of death" is a natural
occurrence.
- Hyperventilation at the thought of a Unix shell account.
- A willingness to pay exorbitant amounts of money for http://www.annoyances.org/.
Failure to promptly remove this
virus may result in reduced competition in the software marketplace and a
general acceptance of sub-standard software.
