Windows 76?
By Hans Brakob



Our founding fathers on PCs:

1776


Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen, the summer grows hot, and it is essential
hat we complete this Declaration of Independence.

Mr. Franklin: Wait a minute, Thomas. I have to reboot here.


Mr. Jefferson: That's all right, Ben. We'll go on without you. Has
everyone had a chance to look at the draft I posted yesterday?

Mr. Sherman: Not yet, Thomas, I've been having Notes replication
problems.

Mr. Adams: Here, Roger, I brought a hard copy


Mr. Sherman: Thanks, Saaaaay, nice font.


Mr. Adams: Do you like it? I downloaded it off Colonies Online
just last week.

Mr. Jefferson: Gentlemen! There is work to be done. I fear our
document will soon leak out.

Mr. Livingston: Too late, Thomas. There's already a bootleg circulating.

I saw it posted on alt.georgeIII.sucks last night.


Mr. Franklin: @#$$%^^$# General Protection Fault!


Mr. Adams: Ben, you might try upgrading to Windows 75. It solved that
problem for me.

Mr. Sherman: Thomas, the part here about the Acts of Pretended
Legislation; have you considered using bullets to air out the text?

Mr. Jefferson: I can fix that easily enough. Drat! I've spilled
candle wax on my keyboard again.

Mr. Adams: You know, Thomas, that wouldn't happen if you'd buy an
active-matrix screen.

Mr. Franklin: Hard-disk failure?!? Aw, criminy!


Mr. Livingston: Are you sure it's "unalienable rights"? My spell checker
recommends "unassailable".

Mr. Jefferson: Can we stick to the substance of the document, please?
Shoot. Low battery. Anyone got a spare power cable?

Mr. Sherman: What have you got, a Toshiba? No, mine isn't compatible.

Mr. Franklin: Hello, PCs Philadelphia? What does it mean when the
floppy drive buzzes? OK, I'll hold.....

Mr. Livingston: The "In Congress" part here at the top; have you thought
about blowing that up really big and maybe centering it in
72-point Helvetica?

Mr. Jefferson: Not a bad idea. Aw, nuts! Word macro virus! I can't save the
file.

Mr. Franklin: That's all right, Thomas. We can manage. Here, borrow my
quill pen....
