    There's little doubt that the axe would have helped Windows. Probably never run better. I was curious if doing this PC trick helped Ravel. Did it make him feel better for having done it, that sort of thing. BDF

      Yes, at least it wouldn't crash any more, give arcane error messages, offer to report problems to MS just to say there is no known fix, etc., etc. :)

      How could it not? We've probably all been there. At least he had the balls to do it! :laugh:

        once in our college days, we simulated one popular chatting messenger. we took care of the lookand feel, menuitems, buttons and also its icon. we installed it in all the machines, and created a reumor that, internet chatting is available in all of the machines in the computer Lab. all guys and gals started opening the software(messenger), input their emailid and password, login only to see the message like, server is busy, please try after some time. obviously, at the end of two days, we had the database of all their emailids and passwords.

        Suggestion to the members: prefix your main thread subject with [SOLVED] if it is solved. chandu.

        In Seattle there was this internet cafe that used xwindows for browsing, but did not know how to setup the permissions. We had a lot of fun redirecting all sorts of "interesting" images we pulled off the newsgroups to other terminals. Great fun to watch the expressions.

          At the same time just going with a *nix setup probably reduced the amount of kidiot damage by >90% even with the actual install badly mangled.

            I'm more worried about how someone can get their hands on a bathtub full of sulfuric acid Steve

              That's a good question, now that you bring it up. I guess I sort of figured that all teenagers in Australia had access to one. ;)
