I hadn’t been feeling well for the last few days… even spent a few hours in the emergency room Tuesday, So I decided to take it easy on making any posts. But in some wandering around I came across this post about a guy who wanted to show that evolutionary is all in the eyes of the beholder.
My father heard about Vista coming on the news. Since he was interested in getting it, he asked me to obtain it and install it on his computer and he would give some cash in return. I told him I was going to do that, but instead I burned an Ubuntu CD and installed it.
Later, when he came home from work, I showed him his new “Vista” install, complete with the latest Office and Solitaire.
Well, it’s been a few days since that and now he says Bill Gates is better than Steve Jobs and brags about how OS X on my iMac is obsolete compared to Vista on his PC.
I will continue with the prank for some weeks, after which I’ll tell him the truth and give him back his money.
I’ve got to be curious how this guys father will react to it. Will he realize that it would be silly to want the latest greatest Operation System, when it really wasn’t the latest greatest.
