Subject: HUMOR: If Microsoft Built Hang Gliders & Paragliders

If Microsoft Built Hang Gliders & Paragliders

1. Every time they improved the road to launch you'd have to buy a new car.

2. Occasionally, your craft would just stall in mid air for no apparent

reason. You would accept this, execute the appropriate maneuver and carry

on.

3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your glider to collapse,

and fall from the sky.

fail to recover. You'd toss your laundry, land, repack and launch again.

For some strange reason, you'd just accept this too.

4. You could only fly solo, unless you bought a "Glider 95" or a "Glider

NT," but then you'd have to buy more harnesses.

5. Macintosh would make a glider that generated its own thermals, was

powered by the sun, was twice as reliable, five times as fast, and twice as

easy to fly - but it would only be flyable from five percent of all

launches.

6. The Macintosh glider owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to

their gliders, which would make their gliders go much slower.

7. The sink alarm, airspeed indicator and stall alarm would be replaced

with a single "General Glider Fault" warning light.

8. People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft gliders,

forgetting completely that they had been available in other gliders for

many years.

9. We'd all have to switch to Microsoft thermals, varios and reserves, but

the packaging would be superb.

10. New harnesses would force everyone to have the same size butt.

11. The reserve and/or airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before

going off.

12. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.

13. They wouldn't build their own gliders, but form a cartel with their

glider suppliers. The latest glider would have 4 wings, 75:1 glide ratio,

projected AR of 22.7, but would be based on a rogallo wing so you could use

lawn chair tubing or K-Mart tents for repair materials.

14. There would be an "Engine Pro" with bigger cells, but it would be

slower in most existing thermals and despite the dealer's claims poor

performance on glide.

15. Microsoft gliders would have a special radio/cassette player which

would only be able to listen to Microsoft FM, and play Microsoft Cassettes.

Unless of course, you buy the upgrade to use existing stuff.

16. Microsoft would do so well, because even though they don't own any

sites, both the HPAC and the USHGA all of the road manufacturers would give

away Microsoft gliders free, including DHV.

17. If you still ran old versions of glider (ie. Hang DOS 6.22/ParaWIN

3.11), then you would be called old fashioned, but you would be able to fly

faster, higher, and at more launches.

18. If you couldn't afford to buy a new glider, then you could just borrow

your friend's, and then copy it.

19. Whenever you bought a car, you would have to test fly it for days or

even weeks before it worked.

20. You would need to by an upgrade to fly gliders on launches next to each

other.

21. You'd have to know how to fly the glider before you could access the

online Owner's Manual.

22. If you wanted a paper copy of the Owner's Manual, you would have to pay

extra for it or print out the online version, which would only be possible

if you had already purchased the optional Output Module.

23. The new 1998 models will go on sale in 2002.

24. The gliders will be sold without a warranty.

25. Servicing or maintenance would require shipping the entire glider to

Washington.

26. It would be necessary to use a "900" number to call a dealer.

27. The glider would fly itself, but not necessarily to the destination you

intended. You would come to expect this from time to time.

28. Crash-testing would be performed at private sites using regular

citizens as unpaid "beta" test-drivers.

29. The presence of the Microsoft glider would disrupt the running of other

gliders at the same or nearby sites.

30. There would be neither side nor rear windows.

31. Tudor, Pagen & Heiney would all have autographed copies of Bill Gates'

latest "Flying with Microsoft Dummies".

immaginé une réponse étant donné qu'il n'y avait pas encore eu de précédent

au Québec. Et bien maintenant, il y en a un.

Croyez-vous qu'il est possible de ce faire "prendre" à voler dans une zone

aérienne proscrite pour le vol libre ?

Et bien oui...

Cet été, un de nos amis de vol s'est fait acceuillir par la police à

l'atterrissage. Les flics aurait été envoyé par la tour de controle de la

zone concernée. Les accusations retenues ne sont pas précisés mais...

Sans être trop détaillé, mon message servira plus à titre d'information.

Les années et l'expérience nous ont permis de repousser les frontières.

Il y a cependant des frontières qui demeurent. Elles peuvent être

dangereuses et couteuses à franchir

...et maintenant, nous savons qu'elles sont surveillées

Allez dériver dans le plus sérieux des sites de vol libre Québécois sur le

WWW.

Je regardais la liste des membres de la liste de discussion tout à

l'heure et je me disais que bien que j'ai renié, à de multiples

reprises, notre concierge comme frère, son oeuvre me force à peut-être

le ré-intégrer parmis les membres de ma famille. Pour l'instant, comme

vous le savez sans doute, je suis le 4e enfant d'un famille de 5.

Pourtant je me considère comme enfant unique puisque je suis le seul à

faire du delta.

En ce jour, je n'ai qu'envie d'envoyer mes sincères salutations et

félicitations pour son oeuvre (La liste de discussion) en cette journée

ou notre concierge célèbre ses 36 ans.

Et oui, notre vénérable concierge et gardien du troupeau (carte de mode

pour ceux que le connaisse (allez voir sur le site du FLaQ)) est né le

21 septembre 1961.

Bonne fête cher individu. Je te souhaite tout le bonheur que tu mérites

et également de passer aux choses sérieuses soit: Le Deltaplane.

En bon entendant: S'lut
