on the mod lounge they're making fun of me
ok here's another stupid story.
When I was about 8(?) years old we got our first computer. It was a 486 25mhz with 2mb of ram I think. we later bought an additional 4 MB for $400. that's right, $100 a meg!!
Anyway I'll never forget how excited I was to get that new computer. I wanted to set it up and I remember literally jumping off the couches (ADHD, hyperactivity) when dad brought it home.
So he sets it up, and I remember saying to him "your doing it wrong" or something. Now that I'm older I can understand why my dad didn't listen to me, but anyway he goes to turn it on, there's the a puff of white smoke, and it turns off. After tinkering with it for an hour or 2, with me bugging him the entire time to let me try it, eventually he gives up and says I can give it a try. I'm not sure exactly what was wrong with it (I'll have to ask tonight...) but I bet he'd just fried the power supply...
So he sent it back, and they gave us a new one, and he went to set it up, and got to dosshell (anyone remember that?) and goes "omg there's a LOT of junk on this computer" and starts deleting things. Well if you don't kno what your doing, its only a matter of time until you delete something you need. So he does... and back the computer goes, because we can't figure out how to reinstall the operating system.
Third try he says "ok mike, you can do it" I got it up and running and I *think* I still have that machine at home somewhere, it still runs with the original parts, except we added a coprocessor (biggest gimick of all time) and 4 MB of ram for $400.

that's like saying "cosmic space dust I hate you for being out there, where I can't see you, but I know you're there and like, it's not good and stuff."
