"macroHard" is a small tech startup company that began in 1971 in Perth, Australia. The company was founded by three unknown, allegedly
homosexual men, one of which was struck by lightning in a fatal recreation of Benjamin Franklin's most famous experiment. The two remaining men, low on funds for their startup, joined a carnival in 1974, in a desperate attempt to continue their project. Specializing in self-projection via cannon, they tragically collided mid-air, sprinkling the carnival in a fine red mist, thus bringing macroHard to an end.
macroHard would later be swept under the rug as its most famous competitor, Microsoft made its debut one year after the freak accident. macroHard's most notable achievement is known as DURWEI (pronounced doorway), which was
discovered 29 years after its founding, when their former
office building, now refurbished for exotic animal sales, burned to the ground, and was found amongst the debris. DURWEI is a low-level turing incomplete
Operating System.
If you've heard of Microsoft, you've
probably thought of macroHard. Little
did you know, it was a real tech startup
in the early '70s.
"Man, macroHard really ruined my love for carnivals."
"Macro who?"
"What?"
"Please be quiet during the exam."
