First let me say that I'm a Microsoft product fan. Yeah, I do like their products. I like
many *nix products and Mac products as well. Basically I'll use whatever's in front of
me, but I prefer Microsoft products in a lot of cases, with all of it's flaws and whatnot. (as
an avid Firefox user, PHP developer and user of many non-Microsoft products as well)
With all that said.. I have to relay a joke I heard once (commence groaning):
A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all
of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. The pilot was now unable
to determine the helicopter's position and course to steer to the airport.
He saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it against the
helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters.
People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, by drawing a large sign and holding
it up in the building window. Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to the Seattle airport,
and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how that sign helped
determine their position.
The pilot responded, "I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building in Redmond, because they
gave me a technically correct, but completely useless answer."

Had to share. :)
