Top 10 Ways Diving Would Be Different If Bill Gates Were in Charge

10) You would have to stop diving on 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 released two years from now.

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

6) Bill would get all the good gear from other manufacturers and release it 10 years later under another name and call it "revolutionary".

5) When you called Microsoft to schedule a dive trip, you would be left on hold for a long time, and when you finally talked to someone you would be given a lot of information on diving that was absolutely correct but completely useless.

4) Every dive computer would be from Microsoft and any deaths from them would be explained as a "beta version" problem. Don't worry we'll fix that in the next release.

3) Every time you were really close to your destination, your boat would crash.

2) Your air supply would stop and have to be restarted every couple of minutes and you would accept this as normal.

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