DOS Air:Passengers walk out onto the runway, grab hold of the plane,push it until it gets in the air, hop on, then jump off when it hitsthe ground. They grab the plane again, push it back into the air, hopon, jump off...Mac Airways:The cashiers, flight attendants, and pilots all look thesame, talk the same, and act the same. When you ask them questionsabout the flight, they reply that you don't want to know, don't needto know, and would you please return to your seat and watch the movie.Windows Airlines:The terminal is neat and clean, the attendantscourteous, the pilots capable. The fleet of Lear jets the carrieroperates is immense. Your jet takes off without a hitch, pushes abovethe clouds and, at 20,000 feet, explodes without warning.OS/2 Skyways:The terminal is almost empty - only a few prospectivepassengers mill about. The announcer says that a flight has justdeparted, although no planes appear to be on the runway. Airlinepersonnel apologize profusely to customers in hushed voices, pointingfrom time to time to the sleek, powerful jets outside. They tell eachpassenger how great the flight will be on these new jets and how muchsafer it will be than Windows Airlines, but they will have to wait alittle longer for the technicians to finish the flight systems. Maybeuntil mid-2005. Maybe longer
