A Pentium, a 486 and an XT were at the fair and about to go on the helter-skelter when an old crone steps in front of them.
'This is a magic ride,' she says. 'You will land in whatever you shout out on the way down.'
'I'm game for this,' says the 486 and slides down the helter-skelter shouting 'GOLD!' at the top of his voice. Sure enough, when he hit the bottom he found himself surrounded by thousands of pounds worth of gold coins.
The Pentium goes next and shouts 'SILVER!' at the top of his voice. At the bottom he lands in more silver coinage than he can carry.
The XT goes last and, launching himself from the top of the slide shouts 'WEEEEEEE!'
