Jokes, puns, one-liners, haikus, and observational humor

Having edited more than fifty computer technology books (and authoring four of them himself), as well as writing numerous articles on the personal computer industry, who knew that Tim Barry's gift for computer humor would prove as keen as his expertise with Microsoft technology and products! The Totally Unauthorized Microsoft Joke Book is a 112 page compendium of jokes, puns, one-liners, haikus, and observational humor that will tickle the funny bone of anyone who has ever sat down to a computer keyboard. Don't miss Barry's "Windows Glossary" with more than two hundred terms "defined". There's even a chapter offering "101 Light Bulb Jokes"!.

Highly recommend to the techno-literate.

Fun and funny book. My copy is already dog-eared from it's trek through our I.T. department. The tech support guys howled at the Top Ten lists. The Microsoft interview yarn on pgs 14-15 cracked me up. (Close to the truth, to those of you who haven't been through the drill.) Would highly recommend to a specific readership,the techno-literate.

This is a good book.

The top ten lists are refreshingly original. The glossary of Windows terms skewers the over zealous promotional engine that is the bane of the Sunday paper color supplement. The Microsoft New Product Hype Decoder is my personal favorite and was worth the price of the book.

Definitely worth reading

There is an art to telling a really funny story, and the author of this book has definately made that art a science. The book offers a surprising variety of humor, including everthing from longer jokes with really clever punchlines to top ten lists and humorous haiku's. Overall, I found the book quite funny, and well worth the price. It would be a great gift for anyone who knows anything about computers - even those who work for Microsoft in Redmond, Washington.

A Hoot!

I had to put the book down I was laughing so hard. I especially liked the haiku's and Window's glossary. The "Top Ten" lists alone were definitely worth it.
