Top 10 Ways diving would be different if Bill Gates were in charge
-
10) Useless tips would show up on your dive computer every time you turn it on.
-
9) You could never remove that darn Internet Explorer icon from your
dive computer.
-
8) This year's promised equipment models would eventually be released two
years from now.
-
7) None of your new gear would be compatible with any of your old stuff.
-
6) Equipment dealers would be required to bundle a parachute with every
scuba package so Bill could eventually dominate the sky diving market
(a natural tie-in).
-
5) When you called Microsoft to schedule a dive trip, you would be left
on hold for a long time, and when you finally talked to someone you would
be given a lot of information on diving that was absolutely correct but
completely useless.
-
4) Every dive computer would be from Microsoft and any deaths from
them would be explained as a "beta version" problems. Don't worry, we'll
fix that in the next release.
-
3) Every time you were really close to your destination, your boat would
crash.
-
2) Your air supply would stop and have to be restarted every couple of
minutes and you would accept this as normal.
-
1) Bill would steal all the good gear ideas from other manufacturers, copy
and release it 5 years later under another name and call it
"revolutionary".
