Instead of using computers, we should all go back to using LEGO(tm)
bricks.

Computers crash too much. Even if you are running OS/2 or K()()L
LINUX D00D!!1, you get one buggy device driver, and WHAM! Crash city.

LEGO(tm)? You actually have to fall on the bricks to get them to
crash. Even then sometimes they resist you and hold up. And even if
they break (which they never do) who cares, you can always get more!

LEGO(tm) bricks never have IRQ conflicts, bad INITS/CDEVs, or Guru
meditations.

LEGO(tm) bricks are completely portable across all architectures.

LEGO(tm) bricks are a tested system, in use for far longer even than
UNIX(tmNovell)

LEGO(tm) bricks come in more colours than Microsoft Word For Windows
Version 666.

I am happily enjoying DOOM for LEGO(tm) bricks. It is fast and
exciting, and you design your own levels as you play! Never the same
game twice!

You don't need a sound card for LEGO(tm) bricks! You make your own
sounds! VERY impressive sound quality if I do say so myself!

Run out of room for your applications? With computers, you need an
expensive new hard drive. With LEGO(tm) bricks, you just need a bigger
plastic bag!

I will try to get my newsreader to run on LEGO(tm) bricks as soon as
possible.


Yours interfrastically,
Jeremy Reimer

Go back to using? What about those of us who never left Lego?

>LEGO(tm) bricks are completely portable across all architectures.

Not with Tente(tm). And Tyco blocks are crummy.

I just may have to track you down and buy you a latte.

LEGO's are EIGHT ZILLION TIMES better than OS/2 for Windows*.

*This was suggested as a wedding gift for Bill Gates by someone in the
San Jose Mercury News (The only rag where Bill gets more press than
Chuck and Di did), and I'm stiil unsure of whether it was intentional.

You can rest in the satisfaction that you are using a superior
architecture. Just wait until I tell those folks in

If you did, you would have to kill me and burn me in boiling SPAM for:

a) Posting without a References: line
b) Truncating subjects
c) Causing the Imminent Death Of Usenet
d) Slandering the good name of Mike Dahmus
e) Some of the above
