When Heaven was Computerised

In this IT age, one has to be computer savvy.
Even our gods and godesses learnt to operate the computer and Mother Saraswati taught them.Lord Vishwakarma prepared the Hardware and Lord Ganesh wrote all the software programmes. It was natural for Ganesh for he was born with a mouse under his seat even before we earthlings had heard of the computer or Bill Gates was born.
Not to be outdone, even the Christian Saints learnt all about Hardware, Software and the different languages. Now they came to know that there were languages besides Latin. They had funny names like Cobol, Fortran and others which were even more difficult to memorize than Latin and Hebrew.
Even Jesus and the Satan learnt to operate the computer.
One day Jesus and Satan started arguing about who was better on the computer.
Their argument had been going on for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.
Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They chatted, Jesus with the Angels and Satan with the other Devils.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They made Power Point presentations.
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off..
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.
Jesus just sighed.
Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:
"It's gone! It's all GONE! "I lost everything when the power went out!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work..
Satan observed this and became irate.
"Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"
God just shrugged and said,
JESUS SAVES...
"Oh! No!, here too?" groaned Satan.
