"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."
