11. All of the fans draw air into the center of the case, creating a lint ball with the density of a white dwarf.

I am not sure whether it would be worse to have badgers in the computer or a snake. Hmmmm. ...

Snake. Definately snake would be worse. AHHH! SNAAAAAKE!!

Well, I'm sure all would agree it would really su*k if you had a jester on it, and not in it.  I mean, everyone is filled with joy and wonder to find a Jester pop up in the poasts they pop into when wandering the web.  

But could you imagine finding a jester keyboarding on your PC when you walk into the room?  Especially sitting there in sweat pants and tee shirt, in the early morning hours, with a mug of coffee...  Like, right about now.  Head uncombed.  Unwashed, as yet.  Kboarding away, wrists resting on his gel padded wristrest.  About to head to the restroom.  

Just think if you wanted to do something on the computer, and he wouldn't get his fat **youknow out of the way.  Just kept flipping back and forth from Poasters, to Amazon, to WNDU-TV to Harmony Central to Madden Football to RTCW to who knows what next.  I don't; it's pretty much completely random, to me

I'd imagine that would just about take the cake.  Oh, I'm sure he would, if you had any.  He didn't get to be the density of a white dwarf just like that.

Worse than not having the internet would be having no computer at all.  And, let me tell you, you get some sweatpanted curlytoedshoed bell-festooned teeshirted slippered Indian jester parking his pants at your PC, you ain't getting on, Jack.   It'd be like living a nightmare.

Ok. The snake would be goshawful, if we're actually looking at scary stuff IN the computer.  But on it, I'd rather try to get rid of the stinking snake than a Jester.  

Oh; just thought of something worse than a snake, or actually, anything.  Worse than even a half awake big doofus Jester.

A panda.  Geez Louise, there's nothing worse than a panda, anywhere near anything.

Ace; I wonder if a badger could kill a panda.  I'd hope so.
Ring bells for service.

12. When your processor is no longer manufactured by Intel or AMD.

13. When your main drive is a 5.25 inch floppy drive.

14. When the motherboard is mounted on the front of your vehicle. I actually have a friend who has an old 486 motherboard mounted to the front of his Dodge Ram.

Enjoy the nature that is around you rather than destroying it.

15: It is bigger in square metres then in Mhz
16: It has windows ME (this one is worthy to go twice)
17: It takes over 20 minutes to reboot (ex: my host's server)
18: It's a compaq
19: It's a packard Hell

;D

I better watch my cats closely. When they start eyeing the computer for uses other than trying to get to the wires, I will get the message and replace the PC.

Yeah.. ummmm.... unplug it before ya do that ;) I guess you already learned?

And yes, I do have to wiggle it around every once and a while ... If you could only see what I've done to my computer.. you would laugh so hard.  The power supply isnt ATX, so I had to ghetto-rig it into fitting into my new case... lets just say I have a block of wood in my case and keep it at that.

20aii) When you can give it away but it comes back 5 minutes later with more stuff inside it

22) When someone steals your desk and chair but leaves your computer

23) When your deaf aunt comes around and asks if you're living under a flight path

24) You no longer need central heating in your house

25) You still have to type WIN to start the GUI

26) You don't have enough hard drive space to install DOS

27) You try to install MS Office but it tells you "This application can only run under Microsoft Windows"

trav

;d ;d   However, 27 would apply to *nix wouldnt it?

OK then...

27a) You try to install MS Office but it tells you "This application can only run under Microsoft Windows" and you have never used Linux in your life :P

28) Your processor is slower than your mates RAM

29) Teletext can produce better graphics than your PC (or for US poasters, Closed Captioning has better fonts than your PC)

30) Your mate wants to play your latest game after you, but you tell him you've got to rewind the tape first

31) Your parents ask you to turn the sound down - you can't because it comes from the internal beeper

or

31a) You can't play your games late at night because the beeper is too loud
