The Dumbentia parody site (http://www.mypages.com/dumbentia) now has
parodies of motivational posters!

You've seen those posters hanging in your office -- with titles like
"Excellence," "Teamwork," or "Drive" and a wildlife or sports picture. What
your office really needs are parodies of these posters -- with the Seven
Deadly Sins as the motivational titles!

Download your Sloth, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Envy, and Wrath posters
today! Definitely suitable for framing... and they won't cost you anything
except the time it takes to download, print, and laugh at them!

Heh. I didn't enjoy the motivational posters nearly as much as I liked the
anti-MS posters. :) I gotta figure out how to get some of this stuff printed
out on the color printer at work and hang them up in my office. :)

Close, but 'Reich' in this context is closer to 'empire'; IIRC the
Germans likened themselves to the Romans in this respect (lots of
conquering, lots of culture, advanced technology, etc).

However, I have it on good authority that no one in the Third Reich or
the Roman Empire ever used any Microsoft product (including Office 97
and NT), owned a Mac, or ran Linux or Unix on any platform (mentioned
just to have some remotely on-topic content).

Schoene Gruesse!

I don't know what platform the romans used but this is what the history
books (or whatever..) tells about Romans and their use of computers..

"... one of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that,
lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of
their C programs."
