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
