Subject: If George Lucas made software... Date: Sun, 09 Jan 2000 16:23:47 +0100 From: Dany Burigana Organization: Club-Internet (France) Newsgroups: rec.arts.sf.starwars.misc 1. Version 1.0 would come after versions 4.1, 5.1 and 6.1 2. Versions *.1 would only consist of font changes and a few more icons on the desktop. They would nonetheless be full-priced 3. One of those icons would say "Don't shoot first", another would say "Yub Nub Sucks !" 4. There would be no beta-release 5. The main features would be kept ultra-secret until the end, except for leaks one year in advance 6. Every now and then, a pop-up window would appear on the screen, with a version-specific catchphrase 7. For version 1.0, there would also be a non-deactivable annoying "assistant" to guide you through 8. This assistant would speak in an unintelligible language, and there would be no translator 9. Software would be coded on mega-powerful workstations, but would be released on 5"1/4 floppy disks 10. If you lived abroad, you would not get the software for another 4 months after its release, and you would be branded a criminal if you tried to download it over the Internet -- Dany Burigana (Home Page : http://www.multimania.com/burigana) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Anger...fear...aggression.
