It can be up or down. It's more fun when it's up,
but hard to get any real work done.
If you don't apply protective measures, it can spread
viruses.
It has no brain of its own. Instead, it uses- and confuses-
yours.
We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its
actual size and influence warrant.
If you're not careful, it can get you in big trouble.
Some people have it, some don't
People who have it would be devastated if it were cut off-
and they think those who don't have it want it.
People who don't have it may agree that it's a nifty toy
but think it's not worth the fuss made about it.
Once you've started playing with it, it's hard to stop.
Some people would play with it all day if they didn't
have to work. Of course, some people do anyways!

Bill Gates in Heaven
Bill Gates dies and goes to the pearly gates (no relation). St. Peter
asks him whether he wants to go to heaven or hell and Gates says,
"What the heck, show me hell." Well, hell turns out to be naked babes
playing volleyball on the beach, rock bands swinging, lots of beer
being guzzled. Gates asks for a glimpse of heaven and is shown
elderly people on park benches, feeding the birds, and others playing
chess and gin rummy. "Uh, very nice," murmurs Gates, "but I think I
prefer hell," at which he is plunged into molten lava. In
excruciating pain, he hollers up at St. Peter, "Hey, where's the beach
and the babes?" Looking down from his Macintosh, St. Peter says,
"Sorry, Bill, that was the beta."
