I don’t know why I find this video so funny; I just do.
It might have something to do with the fact that I’m a MAC fan!

Happy Birthday Don ! Have a wonderful day with friends and family
I had to post an additional comment on this one because I have to savor a good smile.
Many, many, many years ago I worked for what was at the time one of the world's leading software companies for the property and casualty insurance industry. We and Ross Perot's EDS duked it out as number 1 from year to year.
We had a half a billion dollars a year in sales of product which ran off of many different systems (mainframe to PC), and none of it used Microsoft. Officially the company thought Microsoft was not worth investing in, no way would it come to dominate as there was better. Who in their right mind would buy that inferior system?
We instead wrote all of our software to run off of…fill in blank but do not insert Microsoft.
This all happened during the Great Operating Systems War of the late
'80's and early '90's, and our failure to anticipate Microsoft's future marketing success ruined us. Microsoft marketing crushed us like a bug! It also crushed many a Wall Street investor who agreed with the snub of Microsoft as unworthy for R&D! It was amazing to watch. I mean, I wasn't very keen on all my stock tanking because Microsoft crushed us like a bug, but you know, I have always respected the fact that they could crush us like a bug! I have to give them their due. Who-da-thunk?
Not us, that was for sure! (Whoops!)
Users think they have reason to moan……being a non-user was sudden death for a company that sold half a billion dollars of software a year, 20 years ago!
Don is not twisted!! :=)

I am so not a computer person…this post made me feel even more so…..I wish I knew the difference:{
I would hope your not twisted!
OK. What a strange, but funny video. Oh boy. I remembered the music from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventures.
When I wanted to buy music player. I didn’t know to get a IPod or a MP3. I end up with a MP3. Maybe I should had went IPod after this video.
Hmmm…. I don’t know if I would go so far as to say that I’m twisted…
No wonder why those things are so darned expensive! They spent so much money on marketing… AND they even went so far as to make a video about it! Geesh!
You are one sick, twisted individual Don. Perhaps that’s why I like you so much….?
xox,
