1031: s/keyboard/leopard/

The off the shelf components conimpsirg the IBM XT, Microsofts dumb luck, and a government and its society where just about everything is fueled by greedy commerce is why we continue to experience crappy IT systems. Yes, they are all crappy. It's 2010 and we still have the same machine we had in 1981. A CPU, a couple of drives, an SVGA monitor, a communications port, some RAM, and a mouse and keyboard. Aren't we supposed to be living George Jetson style by now? No, not while there is a tangible loot to be taken by the powers that be. Ever since the PC monopoly phenomena thingy occured there have been no real groundbreaking advances in U.S. technology. Just prior to 1981 we were being flooded with new human toys everyday: lasers, digital media, nuclear power, microwave ovens, plastics, organ transplants, and the list goes on. Since 1981 there has basically been .nothing. Except for some rewritten monopoly laws and a government who burned their own economic flag that they had just waved so proudly in their last two wars. Progress has been sacrificed in the name of cash. An entire species has become like crack addicts dependent on a little piece of shit box that is little more than a typewriter with schitzophrenia. Let's hope our forced marriage to the ugly bride does not last forever, or forever may come sooner than we think.Piss on you too.
