the mouse thread with the points regarding CAT/bug brought this old gem to mind...

quote:

Is Windows a Virus?
No, Windows is not a virus. Here’s what viruses do:

1) They replicate quickly – okay, Windows does that.

2) Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so – okay, Windows does that.

3) Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk – okay, Windows does that too.

4) Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh… Windows does that, too.

5) Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that’s with
Windows, too.

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature. So Windows is not a virus.

It’s a bug.

its been floating around online for ages, i pulled it from here:

Have you ever learned and used DOS?

I will take Windows, thanks so much.

yes i do know how to use dos. it was the first system i learned, on  the principle that one should understand command line syntax, etc. somewhere i still have my dos 6 install disks, though they are probably no good anymore.

If you do use DOS again I have a copy of Xtree Gold.

Also, I might just be able to get my hands on Desqview. Nothing sepcial about it except it had almost all the fuctionality and feature of Windows 95, about ten years earlier. The problem would be finding a 5¼" floppy drive. Well, that and a couple hundred worth of RAM, which is probably worth about fifty cents now.

T^T

i have no idea what you're talking about, and i have no plans on ever using dos again thank you. i'm glad i learned it when i have to boot to command prompt to get something fixed, but i have no nostalgia for it. i never really "used" it, just learned how to use it.

Windows is a ROYAL PIA..and updating everything caused my cd/dvd drive to malfunction & it no longer sees removable media. Yet still, mechanically, it works. Now I have to buy an external cd/dvd drive and then I'm gonna put all of my music into flash drives. I hope Bill Gates gets stuck in an elevator full of flatulent people.

Imagine a giant penis flying towards your mouth, and there’s nothing you can do about it. And you’re like "Oh man, I’m gonna have to suck this thing", and you brace yourself to suck this giant penis. But then, at the last moment, it changes trajectory and hits you in the eye. You think to yourself "Well, at least I got that out of the way", but then the giant penis rears back and stabs your eye again, and again, and again.

Eventually, this giant penis is penetrating your gray matter, and you begin to lose control of your motor skills. That’s when the giant penis slaps you across the cheek, causing you to fall out of your chair. Unable to move and at your most vulnerable, the giant penis finally lodges itself in your anus, where it rests uncomfortably for 4, maybe 5 hours. That’s what using a mac is like.

Because you need updated drivers...

Go to the site who manufactures your cd/dvd drive and download the updated drivers and

LIKE MAGIC it works again

{above is not a windows or Microsoft error above is a user error that is blamed falsely on Microsoft as per usual because the user cant figure it out and assumes its something to do with the os instead of something unrelated.}


And OP the same can be said about craple computers as well.

Mac is the one of the worst Os's ever made

theres more useless shit on a standard install that YOU CANT get rid of with out some various fun aspects to do so

Mac is crap... its an os that costs 4 times then what it should.

You can also play doom on Windows.

Anything you can do on a mac you can do on a windows based os.
