Okay! At the factory they assembled the computer and then put it in a box - not anywhere was there any mention of software or progams being installed or activated. Now I go down to the Hardware store and buy me a new computer, yaah! At home I get itout and plug it all together, get my chair sit down and turn it on and let it boot up and OFF we go computing!!!!!!
NOW WHAT DID NOT HAPPEN AND WHAT DID HAPPEN!
DID NOTS: Fuseing wasn't checked; was the booklets referred to; any of the MFG. cards done; plugged together properly; checked to see if it was actually new equipment and not stuff from warehouse stored there in the 80'.
WHAT DID HAPPEN: Electricity ran up into the tower and the drives started spinning creating a feild that act like an antenna and since the drives are blank they sucked up all that neat stuff that matches the BIO's and the I?O's - Reference IBM's work called "The Manpower Computer Hard drive Disection"; meanwhile the BIO's and then the I/O's are doing their job and finding the so-called correct version of DOS and booting that up- Micrsoft article titled:"OH NO! not that version of DOS it actually works".
WHAT DIDN'T HAPPEN NOW: Didn't format anything- 3M Article: "What Now"; nothing was activated 'cuz it wasn't set-up- Dell Article: "What do I do now?"; and of Course none of it works worth a darn! River Freight Article: "and of course none of it works worth a darn!

To continue on Max's thought....

Remember in grade school when you had candy the teacher would tell you not to eat any in front of others unless you have enough to share.

Well what are you smoking...and why aren't you sharing? ;)

after reading Max's post, I realized I wasn't crazy and maybe I should have some too.
I always thought that was BC's big claim to fame, where do you live with the KILLER budz?

Are you one of those guys who did the brown acid at Woodstock?

Was it brown from the mud? Let me ask my Sister------She said its not from the mud, its the real stuff like Orange Sunshine, blotter, and Purple microDot.
