If Bill Gates did Scuba

Top 10 Ways Scuba would be different
if Bill Gates were running it!

    10 You would have had to stop diving before January 1, 2000.

    9 You could never remove that darn Internet Explorer Icon from your dive computer.

    8 This year's new equipment models would eventually be sold two years from now.

    7 None of your new gear would be compatible with your old stuff.

    6 Bill would get all of the good gear from the other manufacturers and release it ten years later with a different name, but hyped as REVOLUTIONARY.

    5 When you called Microscuba to schedule a dive trip, you would be left on hold for a long time. Finally, someone would take your call. You would be given technically correct information about diving in general and other destinations, but nothing about your desired trip.

    4 Every dive computer would be from Microscuba and any deaths or illnesses from them would be explained as a "beta version" problem. "Don't worry, that will be fixed on the next release."

    3 Every time you got near your dive destination, your boat would unexplainably sink.

    2 Your air supply would stop and have to be restarted every couple of minutes and you would accept this an normal, unless you were willing to upgrade to AIR-NT for an extra $289.

    1 Equipment dealers would be required to bundle a parachute with every scuba package so that Bill could eventually dominate the sky diving market - a natural tie-in!
