1. In the beginning
In the beginning there was the microprocessor, it was the greatest invention of Man but he did not know how to use it. Some men did come and developed programs for it to do tasks. And they saw it was wondrous. But these Anointed Ones all used different programs for different tasks and the people did find it difficult. They realised that before there was program there must be something else which
they did call the 'Operating System' then they found that they could do many more wondrous tasks.
The Anointed Ones did teach that first there was the processor then the Operating System, then the program and then the data. The people could see that it did wondrous things and were happy.
The Anointed Ones had seen that to generate data the people had to have programs. This made the Anointed Ones more powerful. To write programs the Operating System Anointed Ones provided routines. This made them more powerful than the program Anointed Ones, so they were happy.
2. The PC is born
But there were many Operating Systems and the people did get confused. Then, one day an international box maker did say that they wanted to put the magical microprocessor in their box. One of the Anointed Ones for the Operating Systems did realise that this was the way to become the most powerful Anointed One and said to the box manufacturer that he would provide the Operating System. The box manufacturer was happy because they thought that the box was the most important thing, and the Anointed One was happy because he knew that it was the Operating System. In time, he became the Almighty Anointed One.
And so was born the PC. And it did wondrous things and the people came to worship
