Bill Gates dies and goes to Heaven.
St. Peter greets him at the Pearly Gates, welcomes him into Heaven, and escorts him to his heavenly abode, a nice little studio apartment on a golden street in Heaven.
Bill settles into his new heavenly home. It's a pleasant enough little place, with everything he needs, but it's definitely a bit more modest than what he frankly had expected.
Out walking the golden streets one day, Bill meets a distinguished looking older gentleman, seemingly English, in a naval uniform and with a full white beard. They get along so well that the gentleman invites Bill over to his place for tea.
Bill is awestruck. The place is a multi-roomed palace, with beautiful, manicured gardens with elegant statuary, and every luxury. The tea comes in perfectly translucent bone china cups and tastes, well, heavenly.
After some small talk, Bill says tentatively "May I ask your name, sir?"
“I am Captain Edward Smith.” his host replies.
“Of the RMS Titanic?” Bill asks in disbelief.
“Yes, the very same.”
Stunned, Bill politely thanks his host, gets up, and leaves.
Bill then heads off to see St. Peter, finds him, and says, “Look, St. Peter, I think I did some good things in my life, and I'm certainly grateful to be here in Heaven, but how come I get here, and I'm given that really small apartment place, but Captain Smith has a huge mansion? Captain Smith? REALLY???”
St. Peter replies, somewhat sternly, "I can assure you that everyone in Heaven gets the place they deserve!"
Then St. Peter puts his hands on the edges of his heavenly computer desk, looks up at Bill firmly in the eye, and says
"As to why you two got the places you got?"
"Yes, says Bill, how about that?"
“Look, Bill. We run Windows up here. And he only crashed ONCE!”
