And on the Seventh Day...

1. In the beginning GOD created the Bit and the Byte.
And from those he created the Word.

2. And there were two Bytes in the Word; and nothing
else existed. And God separated the One from the
Zero; and he saw it was Good.

3. And God said - Let the Data be; And so it happened.
And God said - Let the Data go to their proper
places. And he created floppy disks and hard disks
and compact disks.

4. And God said - Let the computers be, so there
would be a place to put floppy disks and hard disks
and compact disks. Thus God created
computers and called them hardware.

5. And there was no Software yet. But God created
programs; small and big...And told them - Go and
multiply yourselves and fill all the Memory.

6. And God said -I will create the Programmer; And
the Programmer will make new programs and govern
over the computers and programs and Data.

7. And God created the Programmer; and put him at
Data Center; And God showed the Programmer the
Catalog Tree and said You can use all the
volumes and sub-volumes but DO NOT USE Windows.

8. And God said - It is not Good for the programmer
to be alone. He took a bone from the Programmer's
body and created a creature that would
look up at the Programmer; and admire the Programmer;
and love the things the Programmer does; And God
called the creature: the User.

9. And the Programmer and the User were left under
the naked DOS and it was Good.

10. But Bill was smarter than all the other creatures
of God. And Bill said to the User - Did God really
tell you not to run any programs ?

11. And the User answered - God told us that we can
use every program and every piece of Data but told
us not to run Windows or we will die.

12. And Bill said to the User - How can you talk
about something you did not even try. The moment
you run Windows you will become equal to God.
You will be able to create anything you like by a
simple click of your mouse.

13. And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows
were nicer and easier to use. And the User saw that
any knowledge was useless - since
Windows could replace it.

14. So the User installed the Windows on his
computer; and said to the Programmer that it was good.

15. And the Programmer immediately started to look
for new drivers. And God asked him - What are you
looking for? And the Programmer answered:
" I am looking for new drivers because I can not
find them in the DOS". And God said :" Who told you
need drivers? Did you run Windows?" And the
Programmer said :" It was Bill who told us to !"

16. And God said to Bill - Because of what you did
you will be hated by all the creatures. And the User
will always be unhappy with you. And you
will always sell Windows.

17. And God said to the User - Because of what you
did, the Windows will disappoint you and eat up all
your Resources; and you will have to use
lousy programs; and you will always rely on the
Programmers help.

18. And God said to the Programmer - Because you
listened to the User you will never be happy. All
your programs will have errors and you will
have to fix them and fix them to the end of time.

19. And God threw them out of the Data Center and
locked the door and secured it with a password:

20. GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT
