Impatient SC

Dear SC from across the street,

• Please do not imply that it is our fault that something you're trying to do isn't working when you bring the machine in. For your information you fucked it up so badly with viruses last time we had to reinstall windows, and that's all we did. Literally. All we did was back up your data, wipe the computer, and reinstall windows (well, and installed the drivers). It's pretty much impossible that something we did messed it up.
• Please do not come back twenty minutes after you bring in the aforementioned machine and tap incessantly on the counter when we don't come out right away and proceed to ask us if it's ready. It's not, and I haven't even looked at it yet. We're overflowing with computers at the moment.
• Please do not take the computer since we're "too slow".
• Please do not come back after taking said machine back because you "need[ed] it right away" and say you don't know what you did. You fucking installed the WRONG version of windows overtop of your old install. Not to mention you have shit all over the drive (including "awesomerealboobs.wmv" -- I thought this was your WORK computer?! [the boobs weren't even that good, and I'm pretty sure they were fake!])
• Please do not drop by if I haven't gotten it done in a few hours. You are SO not my top priority.
• Please don't complain if everything isn't perfect. Since it needed to be done "right away" I took a few shortcuts -- the same ones I told you I would take.

Also, please kindly FUCK OFF in the future.

Get even. Install Linux.

That's only command line use!

Here's one to add:

*Please don't bitch at me because your 486/33SX is running Windows 95 (with 8MB of RAM ) and takes a good 45 minutes to boot. It's not my fault it takes so long. As soon as that POS boots up, I'll take a look at it. Until then, bugger off

Ooh boy. I remember the first time I saw Win95 running - and it was on an 8MB machine. At the time, I thought 8MB was a lot of memory, so I was not at all impressed with the resulting performance. These days of course, 95 (well, 95B) is positively svelte.

C:/WINDOWS000/



(Anyone else get the reference?)

[otakuneko]

I had that one on my own machine, way back when.

I also had c:\crapOS

C:/WINDOWS000/



(Anyone else get the reference?)

Fool! You hath forgotteth the backslashes!

C:\WINDOWS000\

[otakuneko]

Also, I coulda swore mine had a dot. c:\windows.000\
No really!

I think I've seen this - the backup copy of the old WINDOWS folder left when you reinstall 3.1. And possibly some later versions too. It would be WINDOWS.000 - directories had to conform to 8.3 just as much as files.
