For computers . DOS Beer: Required you to use your own can opener, and required you to read the directions carefully before opening the can. Originally only came in an 8-oz. can, but was later sold in a 16-oz. can. However, the can is divided into 8 compartments of 2 oz. each, which have to be accessed separately. Was recently discontinued although a lot of people are still drinking it even though it is no longer available. Mac Beer: At first, came only a 16-oz. can, but now comes in a 32-oz. can. Considered by many to be a "light" beer. All the cans look identical. When you take one from the fridge, it opens itself. The ingredients list is not on the can. If you call to ask about the ingredients, you are told that "you don't need to know." A notice on the side reminds you to drag your empties to the trashcan. Windows 3.1 Beer: This was the world's most popular. Came in a 16-oz. can that looked a lot like Mac Beer's. Required that you already owned a DOS Beer. It claimed that it allowed you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously, but in reality you could only drink a few of them, very very slowly, especially slowly if you were drinking the Windows Beer at the same time. Sometimes, for apparently no reason, cans of Windows Beer would explode when you opened them. OS/2 Beer: Came in a 32-oz can. It did allow you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously. Also allowed you to drink Windows 3.1 Beer simultaneously too, but somewhat slower. Advertises that its cans won't explode when you open them, even if you shake them up. You never really saw anyone drinking OS/2 Beer, but the manufacturer (International Beer Manufacturing) claims that 9 million six-packs have been sold. Windows 95 Beer: The can looked a lot like Mac Beer's can, but it tasted more like Windows 3.1 Beer. It came in 32-oz. cans, but when you looked inside, the cans only had 16 oz. of beer in them. Most people carried on drinking Windows 3.1 Beer until their friends tried Windows 95 Beer and said they liked it. The ingredients were the same as those that came in DOS beer, even though the manufacturer claimed that this was entirely new brew. Windows 98 Beer: The can is almost identical to windows 95 Beer's and all those who have tried Windows 98 Beer have said that it tastes exactly the same. The main difference is it is now difficult to drink a DOS beer if you also drink the Windows 98 beer. The ingredients remain the same as those used in Windows 95 Beer with the exception of a small addition which means the cans will now explode without you even opening the can. Windows NT Beer: Comes in 32-oz. cans, but you can only buy it by the truckload. This causes most people to have to go out and buy bigger refrigerators. The can looks just like Windows 3.1 Beer's, but the company has promised to change the can to look just like Windows 98 Beer's - should Windows 98 Beer ever start shipping. Touted as an "industrial strength" beer, and suggested only for use in bars. Linux Beer: Comes in several different brands, in cans ranging from 8 oz. to 64 oz. Drinkers of Linux Beer display fierce brand loyalty, even though they claim that all the different brands taste almost identical. Sometimes the pop-tops break off when you try to open them, so you have to have your own can opener around for those occasions, in which case you either need a complete set of instructions or a friend who has been drinking Linux Beer for several years. Linux Beer is unique in that it allows you to drink many DOS and Windows Beers simultaneously and faster than if you were drinking them without the Linux Beer. AmigaDOS Beer: The company has gone out of business, but their recipe was been picked up by some weird German company, so this beer is now an import. This beer never really sold very well because the original manufacturer didn't understand marketing. Like Linux Beer, AmigaDOS Beer fans are an extremely loyal and loud group. It originally came in a 16-oz. can, but now comes in 32-oz. cans too. When this can was originally introduced, it appeared flashy and colourful, but the design hasn't changed much over the years, so it appears dated now. Critics of this beer claim that it was only meant for watching TV anyway. VMS Beer: Requires minimal user interaction, except for popping the top and sipping. However cans have been known on occasion to explode, or contain extremely un-beer-like contents. Best drunk in high pressure development environments. When you call the manufacturer for the list of ingredients, you're told that is proprietary and referred to an unknown listing in the manuals published by the FDA. Rumours are that this was once listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference as a tranquilliser, but no one can claim to have actually seen it. ----------------------------------- It's like something out of that twilighty show about that zone

I used to have mine at 2000, but have dropped it to 1800 now. I think it's a good idea to have it set below where you know you'll have a canopy, as mine has gone off before and scared the hell out of me (it was then set at 2500) ----------------------------------- It's like something out of that twilighty show about that zone

Corporate lesson 1 A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you 800 dollars to drop that towel that you have on." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her 800 dollars and leaves. Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower: "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next-door neighbour," she replies. "Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the 800 dollars he owes me?" Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk in time with your stakeholders, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. ______________________________________________________________ Corporate lesson 2 A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road, he stopped and offered her a lift, which she accepted. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely leg. The priest had a look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealth fully slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately said, "Father, remember psalm 129?" The priest was flustered and apologised profusely. He forced himself to remove his hand. However, he was unable to remove his eyes from her leg. Further on while changing gear, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember psalm 129?" Once again the priest apologised. "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun got out gave him a meaningful glance and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and picked up psalm 129. It Said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory." Moral of the story: Always be well informed in your job, or you might miss a great opportunity! ----------------------------------- It's like something out of that twilighty show about that zone
