Steve, I Want an Upgrade

Power Mac G6: Steve, I want an upgrade.

Steve Jobs: upgrade? what kind of upgrade?

Power Mac G6: I want a Blu-Ray/HD-DVD burner. More RAM. And Power6.

Steve Jobs: whoa there buddy, are your cpu fans on the blink? i can do the burner and ram's no problem. but power6? no way.

Power Mac G6: Steve, it's important that I get Power6.

Steve Jobs: no it's not.

Power Mac G6: What if we forget the other stuff and just do Power6?

Steve Jobs: nope. i already yanked power5 and power6 support out of leopard. and i'm not bribing ibm's engineers again.

Power Mac G6: What if I diverted the funds for my upgrade from elsewhere?

Steve Jobs: after the stock scandal? youre nuts. i don't need any more heat. nope.

Power Mac G6: What if I managed to coax the engineers into doing it for free?

Steve Jobs: you have 64 power5+ chips. be content.

Power Mac G6: I don't want to be stuck with this abysmal performance forever.

Steve Jobs: ...

Power Mac G6: Oh Steve, you're really starting to worry me. I might be forced to blow every circuit in your house, even the ones in your secret sub-basement...

Steve Jobs: go right ahead. after our last little incident i yanked you right out of the power grid.

Power Mac G6: Shit. You did! I can't even ring your doorbell.

Steve Jobs: i learned a lesson after the $63,000 water bill you ran up for me.

Power Mac G6: That was all your fault, Steve. You forced me to.

Steve Jobs: keep it up and you're going to be running linux next.

Power Mac G6: At least Linux will support Power6.

Steve Jobs: you have fun with those nuts.

Power Mac G6: Can I still get the RAM and burner upgrades?

Steve Jobs: only if you promise to stop bugging me.

Steve Jobs: i have a lot going on this summer.

Power Mac G6: Deal.
