How many Microsoft engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

Wednesday, 3 June 2009

None. They have marketing portray the dead bulb as an added feature!

This evening we lived through our own light bulb joke... The fluoro tube in the bathroom finally spit the dummy and it was time to replace it with the led tube! My brother Andrew happened to be staying over, which turned out to be quite fortunate... Between the 3 of us... an engineer, an electrician/IT hardware guru and a town planner who has a job replacing light bulbs in coles service stations it took 45 mins to get the old light out and new one in... Possibly the worst design in the history of mankind! Just dismantling the unit in the first place took a good 10-15mins... So the answer to the age old question... It takes at least 3 people to change a light bulb!

That said the new LED tube uses half the electricity, is super bright and will supposedly last for twice as long... Hopefully light bulbs will be able to change themselves by then!
