Hollywood operating system

About 75cm!

And what speed are we travelling?

The speed of thought.

So there!

Are yes, but who's thought? The speed of Deep Thought?

Bill Gates has already given us the Mickey Mouse operating system does that count?

No - the mouse only has 3 fingers, can't write a cheque..

Also could be known as the Cat's Whisker OS. Underlying that complacent look you know you're only a cat's whisker away from a blue screen and the whole thing evolved to run on a machine akin to the cat's whisker receiver of yore, so you'll NEVER beneft from major devlopments in hardware let alone programming.

It certainly might appeal to Del.

Come now Del, it's only Mickey Mouse if Mickey is driving in the demolition derby and monster trucks can hide in the glove box.

I especially like the fact that people who make bombs on TV are considerate enough to provide a digital readout of the minutes and seconds left on the timing device.

"Enhance... Enhance... Enhance..." "Just print the bleep picture!"

Also... if I remember correctly... I was watching "The Ring"... during the scene where Naomi Watts is surfing the web for information... if you look closely at the URL... you can see it begins with c:\.

"These systems will often either shut down, substantially slow down, and/or stop performing necessary functions as a plot device." (From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_operating_system.)

Yup. We've been there for years.

Have you been spying on Bill Gates again??

I understand his next OS is called "Hollywood Vista with Beachfront Access".

He he he...
