Mac and virus
From Sunil Sharma

John was just having a conversation with Mike, who was about to buy a Mac. He was against it and an argument started. John said there were too few persons supporting Mac.

Mike responded, "When was the last time you heard of a virus on a Mac?"

John said: "See, even persons who write viruses don’t support Macs".

Merits of mistress

An artist, a lawyer, and a computer scientist are discussing the merits of a mistress. The artist tells of the passion, the thrill which comes with the risk of being discovered. The lawyer warns of the difficulties. It can lead to guilt, divorce, bankruptcy. Not worth it. Too many problems. The computer scientist says "It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. My wife thinks I’m with my mistress. My mistress thinks I’m home with my wife, and I can spend all night on the computer!"

Computer heaven and hell

Heaven: The management is from Intel,

The design and construction is done by Apple,

The marketing is done by Microsoft,

IBM provides the support,

Gateway determines the pricing.

Hell: The management is from Apple,

Microsoft does design and construction,

IBM handles the marketing,

The support is from Gateway,

Intel sets the price.

Boot up

Q: What does it mean to boot your computer?

A: Booting a computer is a simple procedure that’s performed when it acts up. Let’s say, it’s the 20th time in an hour that Windows has locked up. You simply lift the computer up at about chest-high level and drop kick it. It doesn’t always fix the problem, but it does tend to make you feel a little better.
