Some fun for true computerlovers who dislike Windows and prefer Apple for whatever reason

Some fun for true computerlovers who dislike Windows and prefer Apple for whatever reason. Now you have your own anthem: Smell That Big Apple, a self penned song by Rockin' Henri Smeets.
Enjoy my self made humoristic fake windows messages and my song!

NVIDIA's April Fools Prank
Can be seen here . I think they're really good at it and this one is the #1 prank of 2011.
My Teacher
I was making my way through MSDN, looking at Win32 API console functions to make my own gotoxy() function in Visual C++ 6.0. My C++ programming teacher looked at my screen and asked:
Teacher: "What are you doing?"
Me: "I'm trying to find out how to make a gotoxy() in Visual C++. I'll have to use Win32 API functions."
Teacher: "No you don't have to use API functions! Just take Borland C++ 3.1 headers and put them in Visual C++ 6.0 include directory."
Me: "Heuh......."
Unfortunately, Borland C++ 3.1 was designed for DOS and Win16. Visual C++ works on Win32. Worse, headers only contain types and class declarations, defines, and function prototypes. I don't know how my teacher thought this would work.

Pause English
My Friend: "Yesterday, I reprogrammed my computer."
Me: "Okay...."
My Friend: "Not my Mac, but my PC. It has Windows Vista."
Me: "Yes, and what language did you use?"
My Friend: (pause) "English."
Me: "English?"
My Friend: "Yeah, English."
Me: "Okay...."
My Friend: "Not my Mac, but my PC. It has Windows Vista."
Me: "Yes, and what language did you use?"

Me: "English?"
My Friend: "Yeah, English."
Qbasic and Windows
Him: "I can download games like Quake and play them during lunch, you know."
Me: "We're only allowed 10 megs in our accounts, and the system administrators would notice you downloading a large file."
Him: "Nah, I could hack it so he couldn't."
Me: "Ah, so you are into hacking. By the way do you know any programming languages?"
Him: "Yeah, of course."
Me: "Which ones?"
Him: "I can't tell you or else you'll use them."
Me: "Just by mentioning C++ or Pascal or whatever will not instantly make me a genius with those languages."
Him: "Oh sorry, I didn't understand you. Yeah, I know C++ and Pascal."
Me: "What compiler do you use?"
Him: "Well, Qbasic is my favorite."
Me: "Nobody over the age of eight uses QBasic for serious purposes."
Him: "But they made windows with QBasic."
I almost cried laughing.
