Not the same but ... http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/90q3/unixboat.html <--- reference to VMS and locomotives Similar pages: http://tj-place.blogspot.com/2008/09/operating-system-analogies.html http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1491775.html http://lifehacker.com/5423260/how-do-you-explain-computer-concepts-to-non-tech-types But today I learned 3 analogies: An iPod is like a two-way ***hole -- everybody's got one, and vice-versa. iPhone's analogy - the processor is actually a cute blond, who only bakes pastries. She can also only bake one thing at a time. If you ask her to make a muffin while she's baking a cake, she trashes the cake, and starts making the muffin. Also, you think you own her, but she's actually Steve's mistress. Apple analogies should all be related to fecal matter. Poop is clear and concise.
