*LOL*  :D

I can just imagine the world how it would have been if all companies sticked to what they did.

Apple would still be working out of their garage .. making small inventions and running chores.
Microsoft would still be living with their parents .. IRL i think bill bought a house/mansion
for bill senior.
and the Halflife's programmers would still be stuck delivering pizza - ok only one of them did
IRL but it's still amesing to see someone jump from pizza delivery boy to bestselling game
programmer, I remember reading wedges' website on quake-c programming back then .. even did
some email correspondence..
Is 1996 really that long ago ? .. makes me stop and wonder ..

Dont feel bad about it ...
Think of the worst possible situation you could encounter by not having the Nokia 9000 and then
think of the worst possible situation you could encounter by not having toiletpaper..

.. now in reflection of this .. which is more important ??
