- Bah, Linux. I would add, Linux air has only five destinations, and can't go to the place you want, but you are welcome to try and fly the plane yourself and see if you can land it. I really like Will Rogers, Jr's version better: "It's really more like this: They hand you the seat, a whole toolbox of tools, and a rack of anonymously written manuals big enough to fill a U-Haul. Most all the tools and manuals are utterly irrelevant, but nobody tells you which. Depending on which color upholstery your seat has, the tools and instructions needed to install it are slightly different. Nobody will help you straighten this out, but they will argue vociferously about which color upholstery is best. In spite of all this, you go ahead. You find out very quickly that installing your seat would be trivially simple if your wristwatch were a 1963 Timex, your "PDA" were a wirebound notebook, your glasses were horn-rimmed and your pen were a ballpoint; but if any of the hardware you carry is less than ten years old, you can't install your seat at all. The tools to install it don't exist yet. Having thrown away your watch, pen, PDA, and contact lenses, and dressed yourself in your finest white polyester leisure suit, you finally manage to install the seat. With a sigh of relief you sit down therein; but as they push the plane back from the gate the wheels fall off. Based on vague comments from your fellow passengers, you conclude this happened because the white polyester in your leisure suit is nonstandard; but it's the only leisure suit you have (thank God) so you're stuck with it. The fellow traveler who seems most knowledgeable says you have to remove the standard seat Linux Air gave you and build a custom one from dozens of pieces which don't seem to fit together; furthermore, you have to make sure to fit this new seat with an umbrella bracket even though you don't have an umbrella and never plan to get one. But all your fellow passengers swear Linux Air is the best airline in the sky. They keep telling you how lucky you are to be here and not stuck on Brand W. "

- From the page: "Windows NT Air
Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes."
What the hell are you talking about‽ As Windows Air is described as unstable, that is totally incorrect. Also, I've seen this shit before, and it never was very funny. - From the page: "Windows NT Air

- I was just thinking of this the other day, remembering someone sent me it in an email years ago... funny how I stumbled upon it again. And it's updated to include the latest operating systems, which is more than I can say for some of the businesses here.

- From the page: "Linux Air Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?""

But I'm totally "You had to do what with the seat?"
