286

A brain dead chip (according to Bill Gates) developed by Intel in the 1980s. This allowed Apple to release their original Mac and call it an upgrade. If not for this Apple would be bankrupt like Commodore.

Don't upgrade your 8088 to a brain dead chip like the 286. Just get a Mac.

Mac

An overpriced computer catering to women and metrosexuals who don't care what's inside as long at comes in a shiny box. Apple works hard to advance innovation in shiny box technology. Comes with great customer support for people who don't know how to use a computer.

I got bored of looking at the same Mac for a year so I bought this year's model that comes in an even shinier box.

4004

The first commercially produced microprocessor released in 1971 by Intel. At a whopping 740 kHz it was barely good enough for a calculator.

You should buy one of those new pocket calculators with a 4004 inside.

chess

A pointless board game played by those with nothing better to do other than fool around with wooden figurines.

Let's play chess instead of doing something productive.

Assembly

A programming language consisting of mnemonics for machine code instructions. Can be assembled into machine code by a program called an assembler.

I don't need to know the latest fad programming language because C++ and assembly are good enough to write any program.

C++

The best programming language ever developed.

Some guy incremented C so he called it C++.

Napoleon

An 1800s version of Hitler who tried to conquer Europe and failed. Became Emperor by committing treason against his Republic. His failure to defeat Britain and Russia led to a coalition to overthrow him.

Napoleon can't blitzkrieg any more countries because the English Channel and Russian Winter are in his way.
