Re: Can you say "World War III?"

No need - the enemy will reboot it for you with a few torpedos while your

     on hold for Microsoft support !
"Press 1 if you're under attack by a jet fighter-bomber"
"Press 2 if you're under attack by a helicopter gunship"
"Press 3 if you're under attack by a submarine"
"Press 4 if you're under attach by a 12 year-old script kiddie exploiting
our latest security hole..."

PS - entirely a co-incidence I'm sure, but Bill Gates happens to own 8% of

How often do you reboot your aircraft carrier?






It's the end of the world as we know it ! :-)
