forgive me sysopt for i have sinned. it has been 1 day since my last post.

i had inappropriate intentions of posting a smart@$$ response to a particular post. for fear of causing ill will with any other members, i decided against it.

[barry glisson]

go forth and sin no more my son. barry

[Sharpy]

But before thou go'est do not forget the new Sysopt punishment!

Thou must click the banner's for thy sins!

EDIT - Oops even with the spell checker i get typo's. I must repent. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

better out than in my son. if you still feel the need to do a post of that kind. just do it to one of mine. I'm use to it. and I really don't care or give a sh** what people say. as long as it will help a fellow member out.
or say three times while holding a keyboard over you head. and faceing your machine.

I will withhold posting of that sort
I will withhold posting of that sort
I will withhold posting of that sort

the hell I will. where's one of them gene c. post. **** I feel better now.

[socalgal]

Thou hast decided wisely. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif By the clicking of banners and giving unto others, thou art saved.

Gene C, repent! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

I have repent and was wrong in my sayings. and have stuck a 120 mm case fan to my ears,nose and tounge and will read the life of bill gates for one week.

I must ask foregiveness, as I have brought back the Hampster thread!!

I have clicked the banner ad's ten times, but somehow still feel extremely sinful.

[Joel Kleppinger]

Ahhh.. but all of you are forgetting the true meaning...

Penance does not save you - grace does. And we here at SysOpt extend that grace - grace that none of you deserve. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

However, we do hope you'll click the banner ads - not out of guilt - but because of your love for the site.

Be motivated by love, not guilt.

[DrCorvette]

OH Forum wise ones, forgive me for I have sinned.

I have turned off my computer without going to the "(Start)" button to shut down FIRST.

I have left good RAM on the bench, not filling all available slots.

I have gone over a month without dumping temp Internet files, defragging or running scandisc.

I have good computers sitting idle, not using them to their fullest.

I have left program CD's lying around, exposing them to scratches.

I have not cleaned my new monitor.

I have desecrated my HP Pavillion by using it for ottoman since it's untimely demise.

I haven't finished up the photo enlargements given to me in,, November.

I have not installed my Creative Security Camera.

My sins of omission are wide and many,
my sins of commission are excessive and consumptive.

For these and many not yet named, I impose a moratorium on purchasing any new hardware or software until I find and burn my Windows 95 CD.

I will remove each and every case wiping spider webs and dislodging all dust mites from the heat sinks and sockets using compressed air.
While in commission of this punishment, I shall wear lung protection to keep the dust mite spore out of my body. The one know as Histoplasmosis..

I will pressure wash my IBM keyboard to remove the Coke that spilled upon it's poor self.

I will uncoil the mass of wiring mounded up next to the fireplace, that looks much like grey spaghetti.

I will stop using my Compaq with Windows 95 as a doorstop and gut it and use it for a parts washer.

Upon completion of these self imposed punishments I will furter implement a walk through 20 miles of burning sand, in the White Sands Missile range, just to see the tracks of the Honorable Bill Gates Hummer as he vacationed.

I will crawl through a hundred yards of broken glass just to smell the discarded packing of new Dell computer boxes.

I will drink two liters of runoff from the Athlon CPU factory in Texas,, where the most Honorable of processors are born.

I further impose three hours of standing in my neighbors garbage, because this is the best vantage point to their bathroom. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Oh thou who hast sinned the greatest sin. Ye who mention the demon Hampster, and all the ugly dancing, music and merrymaking that goes along with it.

oh Dr......you have reminded me of many sins I thought I had put behind me....sigh http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

[Joel Kleppinger]

Ahhhh.. there is a MUCH easier way to show your sorrow. Simply go to www.sysopt.com/rc5team.html, (http://www.sysopt.com/rc5team.html,) get all the info, then go to www.distributed.net (http://www.distributed.net) and download the client and install it on every machine you can find... putting in joefresco@usa.net for your email address.

Simple as that.

[DrCorvette]

A very humbled and worn Dr has completed a small portion of the tasks. Which was the most pleasant is a toss up between smelling the discarded packing of a Hundred Dell computers and the very pleasant task of ripping the guts out of the Compaq with the most hideous and evil OS known as Windows 95 and installing a small pump making it a parts washer. As all who wear the scarlet letter, I will keep my head lowered and fast until all mandated discipline measures are completed. the most subordinate and humble servant a computer ever had, http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gifDrVette

Forgive me, SysOpt, for I have sinned. *hangs head*

I failed to thoroughly explore all troubleshooting paths on a problem. This caused a good member to more or less waste his time, as I could've found the solution myself.

Since I've learned my lesson, do I still have to do penance? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

yes please post at least 2 pics containing yourself for the congregation and we may let you slide.

[howste]

Forgive me, for my sins are many.

The first is a sin of omission. I did not install IQC on my work computer due to the unholy firewall (and brimstone?) of my company. I only join the active list at home.

I have coveted a picture of Socalgal. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

I have underclocked a PC.

I have posted a ***not allowed*** site in the technical support forum.

I did ignore the banner ads for my first month of membership.

I have used spyware.

I have posted a hamster-related site on the active list, without feeling remorse.

I would go on, but the guilt and shame is beyond what my mere mortal frame is capable of bearing.

[Warthog]

I have been visiting Sysopt.Community more than I should and thereby neglecting fellow members in need of assistance.

I must confess, I appointed MntSnow to a Mod in my forum without his direct permission.


I hope I will not be punished too harshly http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

It's not funny what you did, MTP. To do what you did without someone's EXPRESS permission is a total violation of trust and goodwill.

I'm fairly sure you won't repeat this and that you've learned from it.

I'm done. Mntsnow might want to make you target practice, however.

Forgive me sysopt for I have sinned:

I reissued a PC without a clean wipe of the HDD and later wiped and reissued an old PC before the replacement was fully debugged

Worst of all I have not made as much time to answer posts herein.

[seti]

My sin is this:

I reeeeeally hate somebody that posts here. I don't know them, and it silly that it gets to me so much...but I can't help it, he pisses me off beyond reason. Always bragging, always beating his teenage cheast...makeing post with info that serves no purpose other than to make himself feel good about himself.

I wish I were a better person. I wish I was big enough to see that he has problems and has to compensate with this behaviour...but it's hard sysopt.com...it's hard.

If it was you Brandon, and I wanted to talk to you about it, I would go through icq and not mess up this cool thread. You're the one that contacted me asking if it was you. (which I thought was weird)...but anyway...

It was a confession, not a debate, or a prelude to a public thrashing. Simply a confession that 1 of the 10000+ annoys me. That 1 is, and will remain unknown despite assumtions. The is no need for anyone to be defensive.

All this leads me too this...

...

Sysopt.com…I’ve sinned again. I posted something that I obviously shouldn’t of...and I’ve made a mess in a cool, long standing thread. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

ahhh dear brother seti,

fear not, for your post has not consecrated the purpose of the confessional. actually, if you'd look at the original post that i started this thread with, you'll notice that it is a similar issue to yours. i don't think that you posted with any intent of messing up anything, rather coming clean of ill will towards another unnamed (and may i also point out, un-alluded to in any specific way so-as-NOT-to constitute a flame) 'family' member ... and letting it go at that. for that effort and honest expression of how you feel, a few banner clicks is more than sufficient. amen!

[seti]

You guys are the best!!! So forgiving and understanding. You can not fathom the depths of my gratitude!

This day is turning out to be a good one indeed! First, I had the esteemed pleasure of basking in the benevolence of my sysopt brethren….and now I just found out I get to spend the day in San Francisco! The former of the two is more significant, of course!

Have a wonderfull summer day everyone! Even you, Mr. Unnamed!

I promise I'll never worship Mary or fornicate with hampsters! I really mean it this time!

Oh Forum Wise Ones,

For I have sinned yet again.
I have not completed the mandated tasks as the sentencing imposed.

I have yet to find and burn the Evil OS, Win95.

I have not walked the 20 miles of burning sand of the White Sands Missile Range to see the tracks of the Most Honorable Bill Gates Hummer as he vacationed there.

I continue to desecrate the memory of my faithful HP by continuing to use it as an ottoman.

I have failed miserably in my quest to drink the runoff of the most Honorable CPU factory, known as the AMD Athlon in the Great state of Texas.

I continue to let fine computers sit idle.

I have left RAM on still on the shelf with some slots yet to be filled.

I have ignored pleas for help from some members because of their constant whining, crying and foul language.
This annoys me even though I know it is wrong for me to judge them for their actions.

I have completed one of the tasks deemed to me,
the one of ripping the guts out of the Compaq with the evil OS Win95 and have made it into a parts washer.
It finally has come full circle and is now a USEFUL piece of EQUIPMENT.

Still my sins of omission are wide and many, my sins of commission are excessive and consumptive.

I shall withhold FURTHER self induced punishment until the Old Wise Ones,
"Apostle83
Target
Nathan
Chpbigot
Welsh Wizard
MtSnow
Socal"
and the others whom have expressed a desire to remain nameless, have reached their decision as to the disposition of my fate.

I suggest if you have a squabble, you settle it via email, NOT in these forums. These personal conflicts will not be allowed to continue here.

The Community forum is for everyone's enjoyment and I'll do my best to see that it stays that way.

FYI: Seti had requested in a previous post above that no more posting on the matter to which you referred above. I see no reason why you should not honor that request.

Do not delete or edit this message, as it applies to not only you, but everyone.

That may be asking too much, DrCorvette http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

Whilst I'm here.....

.....forgive me Sysopt, for I have sinned: I contemplated cracking OGR.

Unfortunately, that is not my only sin: I submitted blocks for OGR and it was 2 days until I changed the CLI to crack RC5. I was negligent in my duties and did not do the job correctly, as the CLI reverted to cracking OGR.

For my sins, I shall install the client on my soon-to-be-built-and-clocked celeron 600 Linux server!

[Target]

DrCorvette,

Your self mandated (though misguided) exclusion from the Ultimate club, and the penance you have already paid, made up for your sins of the past long ago. Trust me my son, your glass house is still in tact.

These sins of omission you speak of aren't as grave as you think they are. Performing deeds as a penance isn't nearly as important as the lessons you have learned, or the fact that you have requested forgiveness. The realization for the error of your ways, and your desire to do better, are all that is necessary in the eyes of the elders.

However, if some form of punishment will allow you to clear your mind, then you are hereby sentenced to use only a 9600 baud modem for any and all internet activity for a total of one week. In addition, you must install and use AOL as your service provider. Any games that you play, must be done using software mode, at 640x480 or less! If at the end of this week, you still feel as though the burden of your past ways has not been lifted from your shoulders, then you are directed to spend 10 hours in a Spice Girls fan club chat room, and actually make others believe that you are interested.

So, go in peace my son, and follow these commandments of computing:

1) Thou shalt have no other hobbies before computing.
2) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven operating system, or any likeness of any thing that is in Microsoft, or that is in Intel, or that is in the partnerships between.
3) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for we the user community are a jealous user community, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that would lead us astray, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that are like us, and keep our commandments.
4)Thou shalt not take the name of the computer geek in vain: for the computer geek will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
5) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Send no spam, chain letters, nor visit any porn sites.
6) Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work, upgrades, and modifications: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the geek: in it thou shalt not do any work, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy tech buddies, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: The seventh day shall be for actual use of thy computer without interruption.
7) Honor thy hardware and thy software: that thy days may be long upon the land which the
geek giveth thee.
8) Thou shalt not kill. Unless thy have a reasonable chance of obtaining a stable over-clock, and the death is purely coincidental to thy attempts to achieve more speed.
9) Thou shalt not commit adultery. Especially if thy betroved was introduced via an internet chat room, or other on-line means. Remember, some "Terry's" have sideburns, some don't!
10) Thou shall not steal or participate in fraudulent trading. Napster use will be forgiven though.
11) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy fellow Sysopt geeks.
12) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's hardware, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's software, nor his high speed internet connection, nor his spare parts, nor his over-clock speed, nor his price paid, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's, unless of course it is an unlocked engineering sample CPU.

[U-96]

Forgive me, for I no longer run my home PC for the purposes of RC5. It seems to be running 10*C higher now the summer has arrived. Forgive me fear of the unknown. And fire engines.

To compound my sin, I have changed my work PC to cracking OGR, and have strayed from the path of the true.

I Hereby do publicly apologize to the Forum Assembly.

I spoke in error when I supported a new forum for the "community" related discussion items.

I am sorry for my support and encouragement of a New forum.
My letters and on-line comments asking for the new thread holder has me in shame.

The tone which has permeated these Most Holy of Forums is one of indifference, disrespect and some,, hate.

In public places, Respect for others and their beliefs, is the MINIMUM acceptable behavior guidelines.

Whether from lack of maturity or a deliberate intent to inflame, belittle, or perhaps Embellish THEIR position, this has dragged SYSOPT to the lowest point in the last 18 months.

Forgive me Sysopt, for I have sinned. It has been YEARS since my last confession. (Although I pretty much hang everything out to dry in front of everyone, does THAT count?)

I have taken to posting EXTREMELY long posts that no rational human being could POSSIBLY read all the way through.

I've also been verbally smacking some of my fellow Sysopt members around for being obtuse and I feel terrible.(Ok so maybe just uncomfortable)

The thing is Sysopt, the little cross-eyed buggers keep coming back for more, and I'm not sure if I have the strength to resist intellectually PIMP-slapping them some more.

Help me SysOpt, truly I am lost.

To sin in this area - you'd have to develop some pretty interesting peripheral devices - and even then the most likely sin you'd be committing is not reporting all of the income you'd be likely to get from the sale of such devices.....

But I digress - okay - so it's into the gutter.....along with the rest of you reading this..... ;-)

Otherwise - I've not sinned - but committed the offense of "complete solutions" - How Dare I undercut the market with free advice like that???!!!

[Sweeper]

Forgive me........
I didn't come to Sysopt first before calling tech. support for help on my cable internet service. -hangs head in shame.....- Tech. support put me through hours of painfull elevator music with no help at the end. Sysopt fixed my problem in 5 minutes using the "SEARCH" feature.

Your penance and debt has been paid-in-full; time served during the 3-hour of listening to elevator music.

Go forth and sin no more, young man http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[vtruty]

I must add that I have mistakenly posted 2 posts in the wrong forum, WHAT WILL I DO???

I shall probably ground myself from using the PC for 10 minutes http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif. I will also click on the banners for the rest of my life....

[surrealchereal]

Oh-eth Lordeth! Pleaseth helpeth meeth!

Warthog for your blatant disregard of verbiage and inappropriate application of contrition. Your sins being as found above:
Oh ehth ?
Lor deth?
Plea seth?
Help eth? And if those weren't bad enought~
MEETH???? like teeth with an M??? oh the shame of it all....

Ye shall go forth and rebuild 2 Macintosh computers, one Atari, and one Commodore 64. And ye shall do so with a smile. Complete your task my son and the wise ones will smile upon you.
Never again uttering the word MEETH???

OH Forum wise ones, forgive me for I have sinned.
I have turned off my computer without going to the "(Start)" button to shut down FIRST.

I have left good RAM on the bench, not filling all available slots.

I have gone over a month without dumping temp Internet files, defragging or running scandisc.

I have good computers sitting idle, not using them to their fullest.

I have left program CD's lying around, exposing them to scratches.

I have not cleaned my new monitor.

I have desecrated my HP Pavillion by using it for ottoman since it's untimely demise.

I haven't finished up the photo enlargements given to me in,, November.

I have not installed my Creative Security Camera.

My sins of omission are wide and many,
my sins of commission are excessive and consumptive.

For these and many not yet named, I impose a moratorium on purchasing any new hardware or software until I find and burn my Windows 95 CD.

I will remove each and every case wiping spider webs and dislodging all dust mites from the heat sinks and sockets using compressed air.
While in commission of this punishment, I shall wear lung protection to keep the dust mite spore out of my body. The one know as Histoplasmosis..

I will pressure wash my IBM keyboard to remove the Coke that spilled upon it's poor self.

I will uncoil the mass of wiring mounded up next to the fireplace, that looks much like grey spaghetti.

I will stop using my Compaq with Windows 95 as a doorstop and gut it and use it for a parts washer.

Upon completion of these self imposed punishments I will furter implement a walk through 20 miles of burning sand, in the White Sands Missile range, just to see the tracks of the Honorable Bill Gates Hummer as he vacationed.

I will crawl through a hundred yards of broken glass just to smell the discarded packing of new Dell computer boxes.

I will drink two liters of runoff from the Athlon CPU factory in Texas,, where the most Honorable of processors are born.

I further impose three hours of standing in my neighbors garbage, because this is the best vantage point to their bathroom.

just kidding

Ah doc Vette,
The all pious Sister Luvthrill here, making it known to you that I have come fourth, (never seem to show place or win http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif)to bestow upon you the wishes of the old wise ones. For your confession of your confession, Our great ones are pleased with the homage you shall pay when you go home tonight, and lite 3 pentiums (a small butane torch should do the job) and say 2 Our Athlons, 2 Dear Durons, and 1 AMD4ME (which is also what I'm thinking of getting for a personalized license CA plate, it's avail now, unless an unsavory sysoptien sees this and steals it to which he shall receive the BSOD forever more.) With such penance ye shall receive favor, and with the old wise ones blessings stumble blindly upon a website soon, post the info from the site upon the great sysopt boards as though it was your own discovery and receive the admiration of Sysoptiens from near and far, and it shall be to your eyes as would be the sounds of the singing of angles to your ears. AMMMM-Dee

[jansson_markus]

I must confess:

1. I have ONCE had a virus on my system (about 15 minutes).
2. My CPU is NOT overclocked even it Duron
3. ...because I have not been able to overclock it!
4. I have hacked only 5 email accounts during the last 6 months
5. I have only installed keyloggers for 3 public computers
6. I havent used pirated software for...2 minutes?
7. I am, even as I speak, downloading XXX content for my own amusement
8. I still have WindowsME!!!!!!!!!

Oh, the burden is crushing me! HELP! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Oh darn... My first time here!!
What can I say???

Forgive me Sysopt for I have sinned! It has been like 7 years since my last confession.!!!!!!

First, I reached ultimate member status and I didn't even noticed!

I don't visit the community forums to often.

And believe it or not, I have been browsing the sysopt forums for about 2 years and I have NEVER , EVER CLICKED A BANNER ONCE!!!!

Yeah I know... I suck.!
What is my punishment?????

[Bob The Great]

I have not clicked a banner for many moons... Forgive me O great ones, for I am not worthy. I shall click on 10 add banners, and try to teach my grandmother how to use the 4in1 remote (a great task indead)!

[Nighthawk]

Socal, I'd love to see Intel's reaction if you parked your car in one of their parking lots like an employee would.

Maybe get a coffee or something at a place nearby and just watch?

*lol*

[ZENYO]

Forgive me sysopt for I have sinned.

I posted a silly email about purely coincidental dates, times and numbers.

I don't know what came over me. I'm affraid that I have annoyed, frustrated and maybe even upset some of my fellow sysoptians.

Please find it in your heart to forgive me.

[cadetstimpy]

Forgive me SysOpt for I have sinned....

I'm really an iMac owner and I have no floppy drive!!!!!

I await the Spawn-O-Death link from Socal as mentioned in the thread below:

[surrealchereal]

Ah, Zeno, even you too will be forgiven. But you must show contrition my son. You must click the ad banners 50 times. Repeating each time, the chant of the Sysopian Monks,

A-em-Deehe.

Then goforth, and soil your keyboard nomore.http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/kao/otn/pangel3.gif

[Bob The Great]

Are sysoptians now Sinless!!! No I think not! They are afraid to post their sins in this thread! They are afraid to face their sins!

I to was like that once. I urge you brothers. Post! Cleanse the evil that is dwelling in your PC (no not windows...Although :rolleyes: )!

To help start I will post my sin.

In hopeing to get a nicer looking windows I *gasp* sacrificed 10FPS in most games by installing winblinds, windowsFX, and slew of other programs. I've removed them from the startup, and I await my punishment (sholders sag, and head hangs low).

[sharder8]

I'm not too big or too proud to admit I've sinned lately! :rolleyes:

The sacred sanctity of my AMD only house has been destroyed by my youngest daughters PIII!! But I have already forgiven her, as she is only 11 y.o. and doesn't know better! ;)

Now, I also have a PII MoBo bundle in the house awaiting a tower and hdd! :eek: (Possible future server?!?)

Forgive me SysOpt for I have sinned. I have touched......(Insert George Carlin skit here) :D

[samwichse]

Forgive me, I have committed the three cardinal sins. I have had my hands inside a Hewlett-Packard, an Emachines, and a Compaq in the last couple weeks. Should I cut them off?

[prttybean]

I have also sinned most terribly:

I have never even looked at the banner ads on this site.

I shall also do a penance of 50 clicks.

and more terrible yet:

I have considered reading the notorious hampster thread

-insert your melodramatic gasp and soap opera music here-

[Lemon]

LOL,,,, You all have wayyyy too much time on your hands.

[Mr.Goodbytes]

Forgive me Sysopt, for I have sinned.
I posted a link that was a complete waste of time for some and was insulting for others. I should have known that the many great minds here would not be amused by such toilet humor. I await judgement and the inevitable penance I must face. May the mods have mercy on my soul.

BTW, Lemon, disparaging the Confessional is a confessable offense. It is time for you to spill the beans my son.

[surrealchereal]

My fellow Sysopians,, My heart is filled with joy as I see you come forth to repent of your sins.. You will walk through life with head held high now, knowing your heart is pure and clean.

You will now cleanse yourselves with 30 posts each to the forums, making sure if you are irritated by someones lack of understanding you overcompensate with kindness.
Finishing off with a speed reading of the hamster thread is a wonderful suggestion by our own sweet prttybean,,,

Now go forth in pi and soil your keyboards no more.

[surrealchereal]

Lemon!!
Confess my son confess!! or you will be so woefully sorry,,
Even the great ones of sysopt will not be able to save you from the horrors that await!!! Quick my son before it is too late! for you have angered the gods!!!

Forgive me SysOpt, for I have shamed another member into revising his confession :confused: oh wait ... that was my intention all along... nevermind... :D

[RustyGT]

Oh Cripes,

I sat on the board 'til 4am, 10 hours!
Got full of p*** and bad manners.
Had a spray. Yikes!
Got editted by a mod.
Added a well known copyrighted image as an avatar.
Pinched some smilies.
And got complimented for it.
Sinful?
Had a great time!
Oops, Now I have mouse elbow and
I think my **** has melded into this chair.

[surrealchereal]

Ooofff! About as wonderful as ritual disembowelment
Yes Mon Seniour CaddmanQ very similar, but we also know that would be very untidy.:D

And RustyGT, so fortunate for you the anger of the sysopt gods only extended to your elbow.. Can you learn to lift a brew with your other arm? Ah well, a few more chants and you will feel better.

[flea]

Forgive me father, mother, brother, sister, dog, cat, mouse, cow, spider, vietnamiese pot bellied pig, whoever.
This is my first confession.

1. I have been posting more since avatars were intoroduced. I am a post-whore.

2. I have not crunched seti units for sysopt, becuase this poor machine has little ram, and i have neglected to upgrade.

3. I've been listening to the same song on repeat for half an hour.

4. It is 6:24 am and i have not slept.

5. The hdd and cdrom in this computer are not screwed in.

6. I have enjoyed using a mac which did not have linux ppc installed.

7. I thought i had more sins than this...

8. I am using 33.6k external modem because i could not get the 56k internal one working.

9. Banner ads? ummmm.......

[surrealchereal]

Ah dear flea, your main sin is just that of laziness,
Of course we understand all mentioned,, but being too lazy to up date your play list! Beware, for ye perchance may be predisposed to statue sickness... Now my son, you must start by clicking on the banner adds to strengthen your mouse hand, with that the strength will be developed that ye may install your drives,, Ye will also notice the senility vail lifted from your mind, in part generated by the MAC use... Beware son, for without changing your ways you will find your hard drive refomatted, and no longer able to spin...

SYSOPT GODS... I COME TO YOU ON MY KNEES, HEAD BOWED, STOMACH QUIVERING WITH SHAME AND FRIGHTFULLNESS. I BELIEVE THAT I, HAVE COMMITED A SIN THAT CANNOT BE FORGIVEN.... ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD A WD HD (10GIG) FAIL ON ME. I TRIED, HONESTLY I DID, TO REVIVE IT. I PRAYED, YELLED, CHANTED.... FINALLY I CURSED IT. I CURSED WD FOR NOT MAKING IT SO THAT IT WOULD LIVE FOREVER. I VOWED TO GET REVENGE. WD WAS ON MY LIST. I INTENTIONALY WENT TO A STORE WHERE I KNEW THE EMPLOYEES DID NOT KNOW THEIR HARDWARE. I BOUGHT A NEW 40 GIG HD ALSO BY WD. HERE IS THE PART... I DONT KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS... IM SO SORRY... ... ... I EXCHANGED THE HDs AND RETURNED THE NON WORKING 10GIG TO GET MY MONEY BACK. AAAAUUUUGGHHGHHHH!!! I'M SO SORRY! I HAVE NO SHAME. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I NOW KNOW THAT I DIDNT GET REVENGE FROM WD. I HURT THE STORE THAT I BOUGHT THE HD FROM.......... <ON MY KNEES, HANDS STRECHED OUT TO THE SKY, LIGHTNING STRIKING THE OCEAN IN FRONT OF ME, AS THE RAIN POURS OVER MY DIRTY ROUGH SKIN, AS I HAVE TRAVELLED HUNDREDS OF MILES TO THIS VERY SPOT TO CONFESS> ... FFFFOOOOORRRGGGIIIVVVVEEE MMEEeeee....

< I COLAPSE, I FEEL AS IF THE BURDEN OF A THOSAND MEN HAS BEEN LIFTED OFF OF ME> BUT I STILL FEEL IT INSIDE, FOR SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN MYSELF MUST FORGIVE ME. I MUST BE TOLD THAT THERE IS YET HOPE FOR ME. THAT I AM NOT FOREVER CONDEMNED TO CARRY THE GUILT, THE UNDYING FEELING IN MY CHEST THAT ALWAYS REMINDS ME...

I ASK WITH ALL HONESTY...

FORGIVE...

ME.

Unfortunately, surreal, the problems, go much deeper, i cannot update my playlist, for i do not have one single mp3, or even a soundcard on this dualboot box of sin. I did however, on a trip to the loo (the karma of a 3litre bottle of cola) pass the cd player, changing to something more mellow and non repeating, suiting the early hour here in the land of scots, engels and whales. Now i must rest, but not before banners have been clicked. For after i have slept i must scour the flat high and low for suitable things to enable the fastening of drive to case. Or something like that ;) :D

[sm8000]

Dude! So sorry! Had no idea, 'twas before my time....

Anyway I like the avatar you're using now, FWIW (It's what brought me here). And I'm sorry but I won't have a new avatar for a while.

[howste]

No problem, sm8000. I had abandoned it here for quite a while. I'm still using variations of it at "another" forum though. Here's my current avatar there...

[jad1097]

LOL howste I'm not Jadison. He can be found over at mntsnows site, www.xtremepccentral.com , along with several others. He's an admin there I think.


Glad to see you stop by again. :) I hope it becomes a regular thing if you have the time. I know I don't have as much time to spend here as I used to.

[howste]

Doh! :eek: Sorry - I guess the "small brain" avatar would suit me right now.

[jadison]

Hehe, another case of identity theft...well almost :p

jad - I was an Editor there from 10/2001 - 12/02. I'm no longer an Editor/mod at his site. Mntsnow, NDC, and Socal are the admins.

Nice to see old faces here :)

[krazefinn]

I too have committed egregious sin. I bought a compuke (first one, not counting apple lle).

I also have winme on my present two homebuilds-funny though, it is very stable (but only after doing google penance, and incredible amount of tweakimg)

But soon will build n2, barton 2500, with win2k.

Cannot seem to commit to purchasing any os as bloated as XtraProfit, and then having to reregister bi-monthly or more, due to frequent hardware upgrades and aditions...plus would have to pay extra for each copy-which really sux, as I can only seem to multitask with one pc running at any given time.

To buy xp, would need to be able to install it on all of my own personal rigs. Too bad the greed is so great that king bill wouldn't even consider licensing the person, not the particular iteration/combination of hardware.

mEBBE gotta study linux a bit more...

[Swordfish]
