TOP 10 SIGNS THAT YOUR COMPUTER IS TOO NOISY.

10. You hear sound when you know your PC doesn't have any speakers.
9. Your cup of tea has a ripple, just like in Jurassic Park.
8. The local council forces you to move to a light industrial area.
7. The control tower at Sydney airport gets more noise complaints than usual when you're surfing the web... and you live in Brisbane.
6. You can only legally operate your PC 7am-7pm, Monday to Friday.
5. When you boot up, neighbours ask if you'd mind mowing their lawns too.
4. You spent all day on the line to tech support, but all you get out of your voice recognition software is "hummmmmmmmmmmm".
3. The last time you played Quake 3, a SWAT team burst through your door.
2. It snores when you put it into sleep mode.
1. The raver next door asks to borrow your "wicked drum and bass albums" and it's just the hard drive defragging.

Actually, it was pretty funny. I think you should try to learn to conjugate verbs. I thought we learned the difference between your and you're in 3rd grade?

In my books predictable isn't really funny.
I posted this with a strong hunch that melty would say something like that and i wasn't dissapointed. Unless of course you did not expect him to say that, but come on...

P.S. Don't complain about my Grammar. If i were lazy it would be far worse. I try to catch most of my errors but i seem to have a couple that always slip through. Seems my favorites for slipping through the net is 'your' instead of 'you're' (easier to type) and 'taht' (dyslexic fingers?) :smile:

your - descriptive. i.e. 'is that your pentium?'
you're - concatinated. you are.
yore - archaic. i.e. 'in the days of yore' spelling unsure?
yaw - aviation term. to rotate the aircraft through its vertical axis by means of the rudder.

hmmm
think thats all of em.

My hard drive runs so hot I can't mount it under the floppy or my disk get warped!

I once had a FULL HEIGHT SERVER drive that sounded like a jet engine! Every time I started the system the lights would dim!

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
