Freecasts

By now, you have probably heard of the web joke “If Operating Systems Ran the Airlines.” If not, read it, then come back to this post. I was reading it, and something seemed a bit wrong with the Linux Air description. Here is how I would make it go.
Linux Air was founded by people who were annoyed with the other options. When you fly Linux Air, you get a free ticket, and if you want, you can see how the ticket was made. When you get on the plane, you find that it is a little bit older than you expected, but it has a higher top speed than most newer airplanes. When you board, you get the parts to make your seat, and all the required tools. The instructions for making it are a bit unclear, but the plane is full of people who can and will help you for free. They are, for the most part, quite nice. Once you build your seat, you find that it is comfortable, the plane is stable, and the pilot is good at his job. The food is great and free, and you get to your destination early with all your baggage. You try to tell everybody about this free and excellent airline, but when you start, all they can say is, “You had to do what with your seat?!”
