Not sure if its the right analogy, Linux is a truck? Only someone who has his private oil field can afford to use everyday. OTOH Mac car clearly looks like its an electric car of Japanese make.

Needless to say this picture makes Mac car look far more practical in today's date considering high fuel prices.

Why do you think them monster trucks have the big tires? They have hundreds of hamsters in each one, that is what propels the vehicle.

So what do you feed the hamsters when the monster trucks are crushing Chevys ? These hamsters can eat crushed bits of any car?

Don't you think these trucks will run better if they were inflated with air instead? Surely properly inflated tires will let you run this truck inexpensively, no?
