The Future of Macintosh
The year 2004
In August 2004 Microsoft is faced with a choice: write for the Mac or die. Macs are now 90% of the world's home computers, with PCs
being put to more appropriate uses such as bird feeders, doorstops, and even to Apple for a unique recycling program that breaks down
PCs to their basic materials (plastic, metal, etc.) and reconstitutes them as Macs. Bill Gates, who is beginning to look like Hitler in 1945
(a besieged dictator praying for a miracle to resurrect his trashed empire), still has too big an ego to submit to the superiority of Mac and
refuses to go to the programs that will save his company. As a result, Microsoft files for bankruptcy and has all their assets bought by
Apple, who turns Microsoft's old headquarters into a big museum where startled schoolkids can experience what their parents had to go
through with Windoze PCs.What happened? Well, first off, once everybody was connected to the internet, they suddenly discovered that there didn't HAVE to be a
single standard for the world's computers. Free from the lies of Microsoft, everybody tried out different OS's until they all agreed that
Mac had been best all along. After the masses came to that realization, they all dumped PCs for Macs with amazing speed. One
drawback to this was in Silicon Valley, where the Cupertino city council suddenly had to figure out where the city ended and Apple
began. They still hadn't figured it out by the time of Microsoft's bankruptcy.Yeah, as if.....
