Well, Bill," said God, "I'm really confused on this one. I'm not
sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell! After all, you helped
society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home in
the world and yet you created that ghastly Windows. I'm going to do
something I've never done before. I'm going to let you decide where
you want to go!"Mr. Gates replied, "Well, thanks, Lord. What's the
difference between the two?"
God said, "You can take a peek at both places briefly if it will
help you decide. Shall we look at Hell first?" "Sure!" said Bill.
"Let's go!"
Bill was amazed! He saw a clean, white sandy beach with clear
waters. There were thousands of beautiful women running around,
playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was
shining and the temperature was just perfect! Bill said, "This is
great! If this is Hell, I can't wait to see Heaven!" To which God
replied, "Let's go!" and off they went.
Bill saw puffy white clouds in a beautiful blue sky with angels
drifting about playing harps and singing. It was nice, but surely
not as enticing as Hell. Mr. Gates thought for only a brief moment
and rendered his decision. "God, I do believe I would like to go to
Hell." "As you desire," said God.
Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to
see
how things were going. He found Bill shackled to a wall,
screaming
among the hot flames in a dark cave. He was being burned and
tortured by
demons. "How ya doin', Bill?" asked God. Bill responded with
anguish and
despair. "This is awful! This is not what I expected at all! What
happened to
the beach and the beautiful women playing in the water?"
"Oh, THAT!" said God. "That was the screen saver"
