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