Bill Gates dies in a car accident. He finds himself in purgatory, being sized up by God.

"Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this call; I'm not sure whether to send you to heaven or hell. After all, you enormously helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly Windows '95. I'm going to do something I've never done before in your case; I'm going to let you decide where you want to go," God says.

Bill replies, " Well, what's the difference between the two?"

God says, "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly, it if will help your decision."

"Fine, but where should I go first?" Bills asks.

"I'll leave that up to you."

"Okay then," says Bill, "Let's try hell first." So Bill goes to hell. It is a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear waters and lots of beautiful women running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun is shining, the temperature perfect. He is very pleased.

"This is great!" he tells God. "If this is hell, I really want to see heaven!"

"Fine," says God, and off they went.

Heaven is a place high in the clouds, with angels drifting about, playing harps and singing. It is nice, but not as enticing as hell.

Bill thinks for a quick minute, and renders his decision. "Hmm. I think I'd prefer Hell," he tells God.

"Fine," retorts God, "As you desire." So Bill Gates goes to hell.

Two weeks later, God decides to check on the late billionaire to see how is doing in hell. When he gets there, he finds Bill, shackled to a wall, screaming amongst hot flames in dark caves, being burned and tortured by demons.

"How's everything going?" he asks.

Bill responds, with his voice filled with anguish and disappointment, "This is awful! This is nothing like the hell I visited two weeks ago! I can't believe this is happening! What happened to that other place, with the beaches, the beautiful women playing in the water?"

"That was a demo," replies God.
