 The following is a conversation overheard as Bill Gates was moving
 into his new house...

 Bill: "There are a few issues we need to discuss."

 Contractor: "Ah, you have our basic support option. Calls are free for
 the first 90 days and $75 a call thereafter. Okay?"

 Bill: "Uh, yeah... the first issue is the living room. We think its a
 little smaller than we anticipated."

 Contractor: "Yeah. Some compromises were made to have it out by the
 release date."

 Bill: "We won't be able to fit all our furniture in there."

 Contractor: "Well, you have two options. You can purchase a new,
 larger living room; or you can use a Stacker."

 Bill: "Stacker?"

 Contractor: "Yeah, it allows you to fit twice as much furniture into
 the room. By stacking it, of course, you put the entertainment center
 on the couch... the chairs on the table... etc. You leave an empty
 spot, so when you want to use some furniture you can unstack what you
 need and then put it back when you're done."

 Bill: "Uh... I dunno... issue two. The second issue is the light
 fixtures. The bulbs we brought with us from our old home won't fit.
 The threads run the wrong way."

 Contractor: "Oh! That's easy. Those bulbs aren't plug and play. You'll
 have to upgrade to the new bulbs."

 Bill: "And the electrical outlets? The holes are round, not
 rectangular. How do I fix that?"

 Contractor: "Just uninstall and reinstall the electrical system."

 Bill: "You're kidding!?"

 Contractor: "Nope. Its the only way."

 Bill: " Well... I have one last problem. Sometimes, when I have guests
 over, someone will flush the toilet and it won't stop. The water
 pressure drops so low that the showers don't work."

 Contractor: "That's a resource leakage problem. One fixture is failing
 to terminate and is hogging the resources preventing access from other
 fixtures."

 Bill: "And how do I fix that?"

 Contractor: "Well, after each flush, you all need to exit the house,
 turn off the water at the street, turn it back on, reenter the house
 and then you can get back to work."

 Bill: "That's the last straw. What kind of product are you selling
 me?"

 Contractor: "Hey, if you don't like it nobody made you buy it."

 Bill: "And when will this be fixed?"

 Contractor: "Oh, in your next house -- which will be ready to release
 sometime near the end of next year. Actually it was due out this year,
 but we've had some delays..."
