DOS AIR: All the passengers go out onto the runway, grab
hold of the plane, push it until it gets in the
air, hop on, and jump off when it hits the
ground again. Then they grab the plane again,
push it back into the air, hop on, etcetera.
WINDOWS AIRLINES: The terminal is very neat and clean, the
attendants are all very attractive and
the pilots very capable. The fleet is
immense. Your jet takes off without a
hitch, pushing above the clouds, and at
20,000 feet it explodes without warning.
MAC AIRWAYS: Tickets are expensive. The cashiers, flight
attendants, and pilots all look the same,
feel the same and act the same. When asked
questions about the flight they reply that
you don't want to know, don't need to know,
and would you please return to your seat and
watch the movie.
LINUX EXPRESS: Each passenger brings a piece of the
airplane and a box of tools to the airport.
They gather on the tarmac, arguing
constantly about what kind of plane they
want to build and how to put it together.
Eventually, they build several different
aircraft, but give them all the same name.
Some passengers actually reach their
destinations. All passengers believe they
got there.
