Windows Monkeys Are Cute

David Nagel
Senior Producer
Human-computer
integration accelerated in the early 21st century until, by January 2001, they
were completely dependent upon one another.
And then, in the year 2012, the Great Virus struck, destroying those who had chosen
the Windows path. Macintosh users, being immune from such viruses, evolved beyond
their Windows-using counterparts until Windows users seemed nothing more than
monkeys. At first, Mac users treated their fallen cousins poorly, blaming them
for crop failures, disappearing children and butchered livestock. So they hunted
them almost to extinction. However, the mood of Mac civilization turned liberal,
and soon there were numerous programs to protect the Windows monkeys.
For their own good, they were put into zoos or adopted by wealthy patrons. One such wealthy patron, pictured here in his mansion, was David Nagel. He rescued hundreds of the wretched Windows monkeys and housed them in his Orange County residence, giving them shelter and keeping them in a blue room whose walls were painted with error code to help them feel more at home.
However, the mood in the country changed once more, and all the Windows monkeys, including Nagel's, were rounded up, slaughtered and rendered into their useful components, which were used primarily for toiletries like deodorant and lip balm.
Nagel will be remembered forever for his generous heart and his efforts to preserve the creatures he referred to as, "cute and cuddly reminders of just how stupid people can be." He'll also be remembered for his good looks, charm and extraordinary wealth, but that is a story for another time.
