Upgraded to a KRAY, or is that HAL?

Post by Slow and wobbly »

Ok for some time( ok, a long time) I have been running a HQ holden on this here thing known as the "information super highway". This week I finally upgraded and bought a new computation machine. After many years I have finally gotten the hang of windows 98, well now I am accelerated to windows XP Pro Series 2.65.34.67.43.65fucken whatever. Kind of a steep learning curve! Machine is obviously heaps faster than the whatever the hell it was before. Has taken me over 5 nights just to get to this point. Windows along with every other associated program has finaly stopped yelling at me to download the latest and greatest updates, let alone transferring pictures and other important files from old computer. Computer geeks are masochists, if I see one more progress bar or " you need to restart now for changes to take affect" I will go absolutely postal
Computers shit me.

Will hopefully respond to some posts now I am back online.
And whats with the bloody forum underlining my typos now?

Awesome dude.... Just time to be outdated :) Windows vista came out a few weeks ago....

In any case, XP is less likely to require a reboot for most thing (once you have got it up and running).... You will love it

Geeks don't use windows and hence don't have to restart everytime they touch the computer :)

Daisy: It can spell check in whatever language you select.

They're still around, although they're not as impressive as they used to be. Now they use clustered Opteron CPUs rather than their own designs.
