After seeing a sunday issue of User Friendly from some time ago,
(www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/archives/99jan/19990110.html), I
was inspired (sent into delerium?) into writing this spoof-fic. Please
don't kill me, it's the job, I swear! (tech support for a major 
company)


Disclaimer: I don't own the power rangers. I don't own anything related
  to Windows. I don't own anything related to Macs (eeew). Any

      The Mighty Morphing Power Macs!
             By Valandar the Red


  
       "Power Macs, assemble!"
       "Strawberry Power Mac, ready!"
       "Grape Power Mac, ready!"
       "Lime Power Mac, ready!"
       "Tangerine Power Mac, ready!"
       "Blueberry Power Mac, ready!"
       The face in the jar looked at each of them. "Good. It seems
  that the evil Gatesar is planning on releasing a new monster
  operating system on the unsuspecting public! I need you to
  destroy Windoze 2000, before it can threaten any innocent
  computer users!"
       "But, Jobson, we tried that with Windoze 3.1, Windoze 95,
  and Windoze 98. We got our buts kicked every time." Tangerine
  Power Mac pouted.
       "Don't worry, Power Macs, I have built new shells and
  Zords for you." Jobson demonstrated. "See? Not only is your
  operating system easier to use, your cases are now color
  coordinated! And see thid little latch here? Even the most
  inexperienced computer user can open his or her system to
  modify it!"
       "Oh, lord, Tech Support is going to hate us now," muttered
  Blueberry Power Mac. "But what abour the Zords?"
       "Actually, I have only one - but it is the most powerful
  one yet!"
       "Does it have a Hyper-Mega Byte Bazooka?" asked Grape
  Power Mac.
       "Umm....no."
       "Does it have a Digital Blazing Sword(tm)?" asked
  Strawberry Power Mac. She obsessed a little over swords for
  some strange reason.
       "Umm...no."
       "Does it have an Auto-detect Cannon?" asked Lime Power Mac.
       "Umm...no."
       "Well, does it have a GPF(1) seeking Microshaft Missile
  Launcher?" asked Tangerine Power Mac.
       "Umm...no."
       They stared at Jobson for a few minutes. "Well," blurted
  Grape Power Mac, "what is it?"
       Jobson smiled. "It is the biggest mass-marketing Zord of
  all. Behold!"
       Before them was a seventy foot tall monitor with a
  keyboard. Like their new cases, sections were made of
  transparent plastic. In fact, it looked like the whole thing
  was. It had sleek lines, and a pudgy silhouette.
       Crickets chirped.
       The wind blew.
       The readers yawned.
       "It's...an aquarium Zord?" asked Blueberry Power Mac.
       "No," yelled an exasperated Jobson, "it's the iMacZord!"
       "Waitaminute, this thing has no floppy drive! How are we
  supposed to defeat the evil Gatesar with no floppy drive?" asked
  Grape Power Mac.
       "Well, it has an extrenal one. And the drivers are
  available online."
       "And how do we get online? The server's software isn't
  installed right now."
       Jobson sent a signal, and a robotic arm held out a disk.
  "I have the software right here."
       "Ummm, Jobson...that's a floppy disk," said Lime Power Mac.
       With a heavy sigh, the Mighty Morphing Power Macs began
  the tedious process of designing a new Zord from scratch. And
  out in Cyberville, Gatesar laughed triumphantly.
