A sad day is upon us, Bill Gates has suffered a massive fatal heart attack 
due to the stress he has encountered recently following the re-emergence
of his old enemy IBM.

On arrival at the Pearly Gates (no this is not his Sister's house, it is the
gates to Heaven), he is met by St. Peter.  "Welcome" says St. Peter, "you have
done many good things in your life Bill, but you have also upset many people,
the decision between Heaven and Hell is a difficult one.  However, in true
Microsoft tradition we have a special offer for you, you can spend 1 day in
Heaven and 1 day in Hell as a trial, before you decide."

Bill Gates liked the idea of a trial, so he agreed and spent the first day in
Heaven.  St. Peter escorted him for the day and introduced him to many famous
people from the past.  Bill joined many for Tea on their clouds and had some
interesting discussion.  Later on he was given a full massage by a beautiful
fairy and generally relaxed more than he had in any single day over the last 20
years.  He visited many prospective clouds for him to live, they were all very
luxurious and would provide for a trouble free, relaxing and peaceful existence.

On the second day he visited Hell, again escorted by St. Peter.  No sooner had
he arrived and he was embroiled in a wild party.  There was as much food and
drink as you could need, the women were very beautiful and many naked and
everyone was laughing and joking in their drunken stupors.  In the middle of a
large fire was a pig roast on a spit, being basted in champagne.  He visited
Games & Sports facilities, Casino's and many more exciting venues.  All in all
the day just flew past.

At the end of the second day St. Peter sat down with Bill and outlined the
pro's and con's of each option.  "Heaven would be very peaceful" said Bill,
"but I would get bored very quickly. "  So Bill decided on Hell, St Peter
reminded him that it was a decision for eternity and could not be reversed
(once he signed the contract).  Bill signed and went back to the Party!

About one week later St. Peter decided to visit Hell to see how Bill Gates was
getting on.  The wild party was still raging, but it was very different. The
smell of the food was awful, the women were all ugly and tied to the spit in
the middle of the fire, being basted with petrol was Bill Gates, screaming for
help.

"St. Peter, St. Peter, please help me", shouted Bill, "I am very sorry replied
St. Peter, "but I have no jurisdiction here in Hell and can do nothing." "But
it was so different last week" said Bill, "what could have happened?"

"Well", said St. Peter, "the only explanation I could imagine is that what you
saw last week was either the Demo Disk or a very early Beta Version."
