THE MOON AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON IT
Bill Gates announced several weeks ago that development of the next-generation Windows operating system (code-named Longhorn) will cost as much as it cost the U.S. to put a man on the Moon.
Why stop there? Since inflation isn't being considered, the development of Longhorn is also costing more than the Siege of Carthage, the Great Wall of China, and the construction of the Great Pyramids. In fact, it's costing more than all the ancient Wonders of the World--combined!
Night Call, in contrast, costs more to write than a potato cost in the fifteenth century.
A big potato.
I think I'm going to issue a press release touting that.
Now they need to change the code-name for the project. Longhorn? That's certainly not a name of appropriate stature for a project that's costing as much as it cost to send a man to the moon. Say hello to--The Sum of All Human Knowledge©.
