I'd also like to point out that the PaperOS, which was originally developed in China around 2nd century BC and runs on anything from a Post-It note to the entire archive at the Library of Congress, features complete language independence, is completely immune from software crashes, offers multiuser, multitasking and multiprocessing capabilities, supports a robust filesystem that withstands any sort of crash, power surge or blackout, user friendliness that makes a joke out of Macs, a cost-to-utility ratio that mocks even the cheapest garage-factory PC, graphics support transparently embedded in the OS, best portability in the market (try folding up and stuffing your Thinkpad in your shirt pocket), math equation/typesetting support that makes a mockery out of TeX and its ilk, and non-data processing capabilities (swatting insects, wiping spaghetti stains off of tables, blowing nose) which even the most powerful computers can only dream of. (Yeah, your SPARCserver might hit 200 SPECInt92, but try hitting a fly with it!) Today, more than 20 CENTURIES after its invention, the computer world still has not even come close to approaching the technology in the ancient PaperOS. 20+ centuries is quite a long time, folks!

Not nearly as versatile!
