I fixed a pc for somone who thought her computer was having an "off day". It was having a "you have never shut it down properly in years and the heads in the hdd are scraping the magnetic surface of the disk off, day". Still wont listen. She also couldnt grasp the concept if there being different parts inside the case. OS is XP if ya hadnt guessed.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

Wow, at first I thought the words "operating system" could've triggered these results assuming they don't know any OSs exist but I was wrong.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!! I thought that operating system caused it as well, but it seems that Microsoft really do admit that Windows is 'horrid'!

Smash it up and give her the CPU in one hand and the CD/DVD-ROM drive in another, should do the trick.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

I never run searches with MSN, even when I don't find something with Google (which is very very rare).

But even if it would give me better search results (and I would be surprised if it would), Google > Microsoft in MANY respects.
http://google.org/ being ONE. Google are just nicer.

Until it gets to a stage that Google often gives me shitty results that aren't much use to me, I'll stick with them. And then - I'll try Yahoo search.

Use Ask.com for image searches ... Google is not too good at those.

I use Clusty for text searches since it'll group your results by category, Ask for Image searches, and Google for Usenet.
