TERRA SOFT TEAM SAVES APPLE CEO FROM INTEL FACTORY LINE
LOVELAND, Colorado - 1 April 2006 - Terra Soft Solutions, the leading
developer of integrated Power Architecture Linux solutions, in a bold
reconnaissance mission last night rescued Steve Jobs from captivity.
Borrowing attack helicopters from a non-disclosed Department of Defense
customer, Terra Soft used an RTOS version of Yellow Dog Linux running on Cell
processors to fly a nightime sortie to the headquarters of the Intel
Corporation.
Ben Ratliff, Terra Soft's Operations Manager lead a nervous but highly
determined team into the heart of Intel's empire, and then into the depths of
their Santa Clara facilities to retrieve Apple's rightful CEO from his
captor.
"In December of '05 we received an email from a woman at Intel [whose identity
remains confidential] wherein she claimed to have seen Steve Jobs working the
evening production line shift. We at first assumed the communication was a
hoax. But when a similar email arrived a week later from another source, and
then in January a few more --we were compelled to investigate," states
Ratliff.
Terra Soft spent the better part of January, February, and March working to
determine if there was truth in this otherwise impossible scenario.
Ratliff continues, "It was only when we received an unmarked Intel Apple
laptop that the unbelievable was made painfully clear. Before we even
powered-on the unit, we discovered written on the screen in what appeared to
be streaks of sweat, the words, 'LONG LIVE PPC!' We immediately recognized
the truth-- Steve Jobs had been abducted and cloned. Apple was under the
control of an impostor."
"We have been working hard since this moment, planting spies, infiltrating
servers, and planning for this monumental task. With help from sympathizers
on the inside, we managed to save Steve and Apple from an otherwise certain
demise," Ratliff concludes.
Once free from the confines of his prison of nearly one year, Jobs wore a
tattered blue assembly line uniform but appeared in good spirits as he
offered, "I am grateful for Terra Soft's courage in this rescue operation. I
will this week announce the return of the full Apple product line to PowerPC.
And as a demonstration of my gratitude to Terra Soft, replace OSX with YDL on
all systems from here forward."
