Okay, this is the story of Pear, Apple, and Microsoft.
It all started in May of 1974, in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. 3 men where huddled around a small table with a single light bulb above their heads. They were all alone in an abandoned warehouse in the warehouse district of Minneapolis. It was raining outside, and also thundering. Flashes of light would seep through the glass of the windows every once in a while with the exit of the sound of thunder.
“We’re almost done guys!” exclaimed one the men. His name was Jim Cutneck.
“Oh, shut up and get to work.” said a portly man with tinted glasses. His name was Rob Fuhfeer. “We still have to fit the Quasmitron, and the Super Chip to the base of the XMV-890.”
The XMV-890 was the first ever personal computer. But with minor complications, it never saw the light of day. The XMV-890 was developed by a small computer company called Pear.
“Quick! Jim, insert the plug into an electrical outlet! This could be the breakthrough of the century! Hurry! Hurry!”
Jim quickly picked up the electrical plug and ran to an outlet, and plugged it in. “Did it turn on?” asked Jim, as he walked over to the table.
“Hold on, hold on, it’s booting up.” This last voice belonged to a man named Darron Schneider. Darron, Jim, and Rob watched as the small screen flickered to life. It was a light blue screen. And it transitioned from that screen to a green screen with the words “Pear Computers”. From that screen, it went to the main screen that had a clock, and a purple background.
“Hoo-ray! We’re geniuses! We’re gonna be millionaires!” shouted Jim.
“Shut up! If you don’t shut up Jim, somebody is gonna hear us, steal our idea, and we won’t be millionaires.” Rob scolded Jim.
“Sheesh, show just a little emotion, Rob.” said Jim.
“Okay, let’s put it in the box. Be careful though.” Darron directed.
The three men picked up the XMV-890 up off the table and placed it in a special metal box. Darron then walked over to another box and placed it’s contents on the table.
“Let’s get to work making the duplicate, boy’s. Rob, you’ve got the monitor, Jim, I’ll help you with the computer.”
*3 hours later.*
It was 5 a.m. in the morning, and the three men stepped back and examined their work.
“Finally. We’re done.” Darron walked to a cooler and took out 3 beers. He handed a Moosedrool to Rob, and a Bud to Jim. Darron popped the top off his own Scapegoat. They all gulped down their beer with delight.
“Let’s put the duplicate in this box right here.”
Rob produced another metal box, and placed it next to the other box. The three men picked up the XMV-890 duplicate carefully and put it in the box.
“Let’s get out of here. I need some shut eye.” said Jim with a yawn.
Just as Jim, Rob, and Darron were loading the metal boxes onto carts, and walking towards the van, a smash of glass erupted from the north side of the warehouse.
“Just where do you think you’re going?” said a snarly voice.
“Oh crap, it’s Steve Jobs! And he’s got guards with uzzies! head for the van!” yelled Rob. Another smash of glass from the south side of the warehouse distracted Steve Jobs, Rob, Jim, and Darron.
“Now it’s a party.” this voice belonged to the young Bill gates. He too, had guards with handguns and uzzies.
“Hand over the booty you worthless nerds, or lose your lives.” Steve Jobs stated.
“Yeah, same thing that he said.” Bill Gates, his voice cracking.
“No way!” said Jim, and he, Rob, and Darron started running with the carts toward the van.
The crack of gunfire erupted. The warehouse had suddenly turned into a war zone! One guard behind Bill Gates loaded a grenade launcher and fired.
“BOOM!” Just yards from the three men, concrete had turned into dust, and left behind was a crater.
“Ditch the computers! Ditch the computers!” screamed Darron.
And without further adu, Rob, and Jim shoved the carts away from them. The three men then dived for cover behind a small concrete wall. The gunfire suddenly stopped.
Rob, Jim, and Darron watched as Steve Jobs ran over and took one carts and ran off. Bill Gates followed seconds later.
“Crap! Now we’re screwed!” exclaimed Rob.
The sound of screeching tires was heard in the distance.
In the following years, Microsoft was founded and produced it’s first computer. Apple did the same. Pear came up with another computer prototype, but when they went to get it patented, they were told that they just copied the Microsoft, and Apple computers. Pear was never as successful as Apple or Microsoft.
But, to this day, Pear is way better than Microsoft and a little better than Apple. Pear’s line up includes the following:
MiPod 30 gig.
Smacbook Amateur
Pear Smista
OS XI Tabby Cat
MiBook H4.5
Pear lune
So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and buy a Pear!
