[escepticos] Offtopic: trenes y sistemas operativos (Era: Echelon, privacidad y pirateo)

["Francesc Pedrosa" <f_pedrosa@...>]

ya que ha vuelto a salir el tema mac/win, os envío, para quitarle de entrada
hierro al asunto, una broma antigua (tanto que win95 no existía, y win a
secas apenas) que corría por los foros circa principios de los 90.

An analogy of Operating Systems

VMS is like a Soviet railroad train. It's basically industrial-strength, but
when you look at it closely, everything's a little more shabby than you
might like. It gets the job done, but there's no grace to it.

The Mac operating system is like the monorail at Disney World. It's kind of
spectacular and fun, but it doesn't go much of anywhere. Still, the kids
like it.

Unix is like the maritime transit system in an impoverished country. The
ferryboats are dangerous as hell, offer no protection from the weather and
leak like sieves. Every monsoon season a couple of them capsize and drown
all the passengers, but people still line up for them and crowd aboard.
