MEDINA, WAWell, this is disappointing: Bill Gates had discovered a cure for coronavirus, but the hard drive he had it saved on was wiped out by a Windows virus.
Not good!
"I've got it!" he'd cried in the early morning hours on Sunday. "Hey Melinda -- I've figured out how to eradicate this nasty virus! Everyone mocked me for commenting on the virus while not even being a medical expert, but ha! I'll show them yet!"
But just then, his monitor suddenly displayed a blue screen. A virus had infected his Windows 10 machine and crashed the whole thing, wiping out everything on his hard drive. Microsoft OneDrive would have backed it up, but Gates had kept dismissing the annoying message that popped up every few minutes on his computer, reminding him to set up his OneDrive account. The loophole this particular virus exploits had been closed in a recent Windows 10 update, but again, Gates kept putting off the update because the messages bugged him.
"You know, it's kind of funny, in the end," an introspective Gates said as he stared out the window at his 220 acres of land. "I tried to cure the virus, but a virus got me in the end."
"Ironic."
Gates was last seen trying to sneak an Apple computer into his house.

Its SATIRE, folks.
Ironic mainly because Gates DID have an Apple Macintosh in his office during the development of Windows. Ill see if I can find a copy of the photo and post it later.

As a 20 year IT grunt, I gotta ROTFLMAO and would believe it if you told it to my face, even if it is from The Bee.

Kind of like my story written decades ago about how terrorists got suitcase nukes into the country but the airlines lost them.
To: dayglored
Nowadays satire has more integrity than the press. Which is what makes it hilarious instead of just funny.
