OPS: Hello, operations.
GOD: Yes, hi. I'm having trouble rebooting my planet.
OPS: Right Sir, may I take your name.
GOD: Which one?
OPS: Well, how many do you have?
GOD: One hundred.
OPS: Um, okay, your real name.
GOD: Oh, no. I can't tell you that one. You don't even wanna know what would happen.
OPS: Okay *sigh* what operating system are you using?
GOD: Earth 2.0.04
*OPS stifles a snicker*
GOD: What!
OPS: Nothing sir. Have you checked the power source?
*GOD looks for sun*
GOD: Yes, it says it has another 10 billion years left.
OPS: Hmm, okay. Have you tried switching it off and then switching it back on again?
GOD: No. I tried wiping the system with the flood command, but remnants of the bug were missed and I can't get rid of them.
OPS: You have a bug?
GOD: Yes, it keeps replicating and using all the system resources. I can't get anything done. I powered down the sun last night and I can't get it to come back up again.
OPS: It sounds to me like a corrupted disk. You'll have to replace it.
GOD: Oh, no! Will I lose my stuff?
OPS: I'm afraid so. You can try and save the uncorrupted data if you can start up in safe mode, but other than that...
GOD: Damn. How do I stop this happening again?
OPS: Well sir, I really do recommend switching to either Heaven 1.05 or Utopia 3.4. Both are much more stable than any of the Earth operating systems. Utopia supports a better graphics card; good if you're a gamer.
GOD: I used to bit of a gamer, MMORPG and that, but I haven’t really been able to since I switched from Eden 1.0. Yeah, Okay I'll try Utopia.
OPS: I'll send you a disk out straight away sir. Is there anything else I can help you with
