In the
beginning, when I was 21, I worked for a company in Santa Monica overlooking
Hollywood and Beverly Hills because I told them I had computer skills when in actuality I’d never even seen a
computer. Then I worked for ROLM phones in Austin, TX (which was eventually
bought out by IBM) and wrote the first manuals on Displaywrite and other infant
wordprocessing programs... I used plotters... I was among a handful of people
who had voicemail for the first time back then... I suffered through the war of Mac/PC/Mac/PC/Mac/PC... Mac1 was great and made me a good living but PC won in
the end.

Jesus is Windows

In the
beginning, Bill Gates created the BASIC language for the PC; Jobs & Wozniak
the Apple in the Garden of Silicon Eden. And then came IBM (In the Beginning
was Man) and its MS-DOS operating system... and the computer world soon
discovered everything had to be IBM-compatible... and lost its spirituality
with God.
But the
Apple's Macintosh with its mouse and graphics gave us colour and realism.
Apple's theme was George Orwell's "1984"... which also gave us What
You See Is What You Get. And the computer world was created.
And Microsoft
brought us Word and the Word was Windows (Jesus) who showed the commoners the
way, the truth, the light and taught them to grow beyond their expectations.
And Windows was used on the Macintosh. But the Macintosh apple was too tempting
for the innocents who wanted more and so it was consumed... Windows was the
way, but could not be readily accepted by Rome and was forced to be sacrificed
and so the Jewish ideal, in fact the King of the Jews, would die so that the
IBM PC version of Windows (Christianity) would be the most widely accepted and
understood way of life.
And so God's
message was that He gave his only begotten Windows that whosover believeth in
it should not crash, but have everlasting memory.
