Back in the old days of C=64's and Vic20's, we used to play music on our floppy drives and dot matrix printers.
Interesting hearing a 1541 drive play 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'...

Now, go up to the top and highlight that sentence, with no periods at the end and click on tools, and the thesaurus....watch.
You'll love it!
I am laughing my *** off right now!!!!

A little experimenting and you can come up with some other good ones. https://forums.windrivers.com/
On an old (5Yrs) Packard Bell Desktop, system restore program exited with the error:
"Sorry, Something wnet wrong"
And yes, it did say wnet.
I saw something very famillar to that... I dont recall the "wnet" but I do remember seeing a polite little message like that when I was trying to install Tie Fighter on my bothers computer awhile back... I laughed my *** off. No one in the house thought it was funny but me. Looking back I wish I would have had someone to share that with. I think all crashes should be like that.
I can see it now.
BSOD: Sorry, but your Operating System has encountered a critical error in Kernel Blah blah blah. We do Apologize for this error, but at the time of software release we could not find the line to which this error refers. Have a nice day. Your machine will reboot in: 5...4...3... ----------

Tell me; Future-Boy, who’s president of the United States in 1985?
The oddest thing I saw was a monitor that had the image upsidedown and backwards. Other monitors work fine. Seems that someone tried replacing the monitor with the wrong tube.
For those of us who don't have MS Word (or MS anything https://forums.windrivers.com/), what does it say? Is it along the same lines as the old racist version?
l once tried to run an IRC client as root, and got the error message: "Running IRC as root is stupid. Very stupid. Don't do it."

come to my office to watch it again and again. we have some cheap celery boards, pcchips and soyo's i think(i don't pick'em i just put'em together). put something in the computer and watch it turn on. i just about had a heart attack the first time it happened when i put a modem in one and i heard the computer come on. i thought the shop was haunted for a couple days there until i realized its because of the cheap hardware :-) i turn everything off in the room now except for the lights when i work on hardware.Quote:

What's the chances of ever doing that again?

“I’d” followed by anything = I'll drink to that
aka
I’d give bill all my money if he asked me to = I'll drink to that
I’d kill you all if I could only get out of the damm pen I am stuck in = I'll drink to that
I’d g;aifdsja;lkvja;s you fj;lasdkgj if you f;kalsfj or even fdfasdfdsafsadfa;lkj = I'll drink to that
I’d = I'll drink to that
How I works depends on if it is followed by a verb
I like = I should say so
I feel aka I then a verb = verb
“I like this program” = I should say so
“I I'd” = I should say so
“I” = I appreciate it
Think of some interesting things to use this with and then post them here please
Unable to feel = Unable to have an erection
Unable to = unable to distinguish sound
Oddest thing? Happened a week or so ago, with a monitor and a PC. Seems they just didn't like each other after a while. Machine was a Gateway, couple of years old and one day I get a call from a user "My screens got this message on and it won't go away"
So I go down to this machine and sure enough, smack bang in the middle of the screen is the message that some monitors give off on startup (about frequencies etc). I couldn't get it to go so I replaced the monitor and its fine.
Take the monitor to another machine and its fine (?!??!?!). Just for curiousity after the user went home I put the monitor back on her PC, and the message is back. Take it off and replace and guess what? PC is fine and the monitor is currently happier in its new relationship with a Dell Optiplex.....
An error message I once saw which made me laugh was a custom made accounts packing running on Unify, a screen pops up with "An error has occurred, then underneath, 'Error code - No error has occurred'" Sheer genius......

Had a hard drive going bad, LOTS of bad sectors and was reporting files sizes as large as NEGATIVE 3 terrabytes!
Another time I was working on one of those old 100X CD-roms that used RAM caching or whatever that were out like 4 years ago before 24x's were even popular. I hit the eject button and the CD came out spinning so fast it shot across the room about 20 feet and hit my partner.
Customer's computer had been hit by lightning. Modem was physically damaged, but sound and NIC weren't...so, we swapped them, and sent them under warranty.
Customer thought that the new NIC (an Allied Telesyn) was causing the system to lock, and wanted his original NIC which we sent for warranty replaced.
No probs. He brought the system in. I didn't bother double checking the invoice, and I stuck in a 3COM 905C-TX NIC. Hooked it up to our network (a TCP/IP network). Worked great.
Customer brought it back. Can't get on internet, and can't see other people's computers (also a TCP/IP network).
I pop out. Run WINIPCFG, release, renew. It picked up an IP address...the proper one, picked up a machine address, saw the gateway, saw the DHCP server, grabbed the proper subnet mask. Can't get on the internet, or on the intranet.
Uninstall all the drivers, reinstall everything. Still no go.
Bring it back to the shop, check it out. Works fine. Download the newest 3Com drivers. Reinstall all the drivers and protocols. No probs. I can surf on our internet fine, I can see our server, etc.
Bring it back to the customer. Still no connection. Tried different cables, tried those cables in different machines, tried different hubs. Still no connection. Tried different protocol (NetBEUI), still no connection.
Gave up, went home for the weekend (it was their closing time).
Got back into work Monday, double checked invoice. "Oh, it should be a D-Link NIC. Here's his RMA'd NIC."
Popped back out to customer's site. Swapped 3Com for D-Link. Schwing! Internet is now working, can see other computers, can access other computers...

My favorite error has to be from the Win32 version of ICQ (I know 2000b does it, not sure about others...) but if you try to paste a lot of text into a chat session, it pops up a small window that just says "Yeah, right!"
