If you're not up-to-date with technology trends

Subject: Good One !!!!

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs
 on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He
 used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market. One
 day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in
the  river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (the
woodcutter  and the axe), he started praying to the River Goddess. The River
Goddess  wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous
prayers.

The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the river. As usual,
 the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box and
 asked, "Is this your computer ?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of
 computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No." She next showed him a
 pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his. Annoyed, the engineer
 said "No, not at all!!" Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine
 and asked if it was his. The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said
 "Yes."

The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give  him all
three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked  her,
"Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers
 before bringing up my own ?" The River Goddess, angered at this, replied,
"I  know that, you stupid idiot! The first two things I showed you were the
 Trillennium and the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM!"
So saying,  she disappeared with the Pentium!!

 Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it is better keep
 your mouth shut and let people think you're a genius, than to open your
 mouth and remove all doubt!!!
