... The Kosher Computer ...

... Recommend this page to a friend.

If you think for one moment that the only program to come out of Israel was ICQ (which it was; four Tel Aviv kids in their 20's who sold it to AOL for a healthy 400 Million), let me tell you something Mr. Fancy Shmansy (and I'm shaking my finger at you), you better think again.

Here's a great buy straight out of their kosher kitchen; and would you believe it, it's called, now get this, a DellShalom. I have some news for you, boichik, this baby has all the trimmings with all the works. Mine arrived with the "k" stamp of approval, and should you be considering a kosher computer, you should know that there were some important upgrades and changes from the typical computer you are accustomed to, such as:
  • The cursor moves from right to left.

  • It comes with two hard drives, one for fleyshedik (meat) and one for milchedik (dairy).

  • Instead of getting a "General Protection Fault" error, my PC now gets "Ferklempt."

  • The Chanukah screen savers include "Flying Dreidels."

  • When playing computer games, a voice call out, "Play nice now, play nice, and nobody get hurt."

  • The PC shuts down automatically at sundown on Friday evenings.

  • After my computer dies, I have to dispose of it within 24 hours.

  • The "Start" button has been replaced with a "Let's go, I'm not getting any younger." button.

  • When disconnecting external devices from the back of my PC, I am instructed to "Remove the cable from the PC's tuchus."

  • The multimedia player has been renamed to "Nu, so play my music already."

  • Internet Explorer has a spinning "Star of David" in the upper right corner.

  • I hear "Hava Nagila" during startup.

  • Microsoft Office now includes "A little byte of this, and a little byte of that."

  • When running Scandisk, it prompts with a "You want I should fix this?" message.

  • When my PC is working extremely hard, I occasionally hear a loud "Oy Gevalt."

  • There is a "monitor cleaning solution" from Manischewitz that advertises that it gets rid of the "schmutz und drek" on your monitor.

  • After 20 minutes of no activity, my PC goes "Schloffen."

  • When you get a signal to update, a voice calls out, "Nu, so what's new?"

  • Computer viruses can now be cured with matzo ball chicken soup.

  • The Y2K problem has been replaced by "Year 5760-5761" issues.

  • If you decide not to shut down the computer in the prescribed manner, and you get this message: "You should be ashamed of yourself."

  • When Spellcheck finds an error, it prompts: "Is this the best you can do?"


    And PS ... a heck of a lot more computer technology came out of Israel besides ICQ.
    All right already, so we continue ... Navigator ... what can I say, shalom and be well.
