    Is it just me, or does anybody else notice that “Gurusoft” if the ONLY one with horns and a spiked tail?

    Good point, LordDogmore! I just love this valley tale, and the mountain goat that shines like a Christmas star over them all!

    The Gurusoft one is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Or in this case, a devil in guru’s clothing.

    As a Computer Professional starting in 1969 I had the opportunity to be nearby when Gates sold his soul. A few of us were sad, but most were mad. There is a lot of hate out there. It was generated by Gate’s betrayal of those principles that were the foundation of the Computer Age.

    Excellent, but I think Apple has earned a place as the iGuru! It’s fanboys seem to be religiously inspired.

    (And its guru could wear a black turtleneck and jeans under its robe.)

    Yep, I noticed. I also noticed the “Gurus R Us” guru has a giraffe neck.

    And the “Coca-Guru” is the only one with his eyes closed…

    @SKP TomV, I assume you’re talking about Basic and not MSDOS. And I’m not at all sure that those “principles” he sold out were the foundations of the Computer Age. (Free sharing of software? I’m sure that helped some, but FOUNDATION? I don’t think so.) Don’t get me wrong; I’ve had too much close contact with Microsoft in the ’80s and ’90s to have any fondness at all for them. But I think you vastly overstate your case.

    I saw 3 posts that said they’d pass up the KFG but no one mentioned the McGuru’s.

    There’s not much difference between a Double Down and a McRib - except that after the McGuru dies, he won’t decompose.

    oish - think you missed the point they were making. Think about it.

    And Gurusoft may be the only one where the horns are visible because the others are better at hiding them. ;-)

    Actually, the GurusRUs Guru is th best. He has a long neck and that reminds me of the source of all guru knowledge: The Budweiser Long Neck. Been a long time since I went to the Budweiser Beer School and learned about pouring the perfect ten ounce pilzner full of that frothy delight and the benefits to be gained by pouring the delights of millions out of one of those wonderful longnecks. Funny how such things come to mind when contemplating the study of Gurus. Happy day one and all… Get yourself a longneck and enjoy some football or basketball or church or the Sunday Times or Wiley. Or..

    yyyguy said, about 4 chouses ago we’re off to dig the guru, that glorious guru of ours from an old Mad Magazine spoof.

    Which ends with the guru turning us on to “the purest Nirvana of all… money !” And then everybody sings the cheery final number:

    “We’re glad we dug the guru, That greedy old Guru of Ours He’s on the make, and such a big fake, He even wears plastic flowers!”

    Somehow the most down-to-earth one of these is the “Universal Guru Service” aka ugs - somehow I just get a feeling of really be on the ground with that one!

    I almost busted a gut laughing when I noticed the horns and tail on Gurusoft. No love for Microsoft here. I wish someone would put together a competent alternative. (I don’t see Linux as that since it is not fully icon based.) @ses1066- isn’t that “United Guru Service”?

    Meherab- you are seeing things, there’s no headgear.

    I would have preferred seeing iGuru (or Gurugle) instead of ugs.

    If I’m not mistaken, Wiley is an Apple fan, so I wouldn’t expect to see an iGuru. iGuru’s probably a trademarked term anyway, so if he did use it, he’d probably get a nasty lawyer letter from the owner. Hum, iLawyer??
