just a wee bit off topic, fredil i like your sig... lots of pretty colors

Why thank you, Transience. It took me a while to get it working and find the dots

I added BUGS=OFF to my virtual machine's config.sys... it didn't do anything too exciting

You Might Be a Computers' Support Technician if...


when asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits.

you dream in 256 pallettes of 256 colors.

you are reading a book and look for the scroll bar to get to the next page.

after fooling around all day with routers etc, you pick up the phone and start dialing an IP number.

you get in the elevator and double-click the button for the floor you want.

you look for a icon to double-click to open your bedroom window.

you look for the undo command after making a mistake.

you disdain people who use low baud rates.

you know how to take the cover off of your computer, and what size screwdriver to use.

you can understand sentences with four or more acronyms in them.

you would rather get more dots per inch than miles per gallon.

you rotate your screen savers more frequently than your automobile tires.

you see a bumper sticker that says "Users are Losers" and you have no idea it is referring to drugs.

you know without a doubt that diskettes come in five-and-a-quarter and three-and-a-half inch sizes.

you have ended friendships because of irreconcilably different opinions about which is better -- the track ball or the track pad.

you are zen-like in your acceptance of users, realizing that there is no limit to the depths of cluelessness, and yet you help them anyway.
