"The most insulting thing ever"

What could be the most insulting thing ever? Being mistaken for a girl? Nah. Being mistaken for some ugly bloke? No not at all. The most insulting thing lies in the memory of the PC you may be using now.

Have you ever seen scandisk? It displays the message "To avoid seeing this in future always make sure you shut down your computer properly". What caused me to get into scandisk? No error on my part. I always shutdown properly it's just you!! Evil Windows! You crashed yourself for no apparent reason!! To say it's my fault is just a mere insult. I heard Windows 2000 never crashed. Tried it round my friend's house. Crashed twice that night. My fault or the computer's? I think the computer's fault. Will a Windows that never crashes every be invented? I think this is as possible as us going on holiday in the sun and surviving..

So we are agreed we are going to lead a revolt against Microsoft?

I would use Windows Scandisk but guess what....


Windows crashes everytime I try to use it!

Therefore it says I last checked for errors 1289 days ago!

Thats the Mac being friendly, at least it ask you if it was, unlike Microsoft which says, 'YOU DID NOT...'

and also Microsoft only own the software part of Mac, and hey its not Mac's fault AppleWorks is great....

Hey Tony, my homepage has a direct link to the ukdisscussions... saying its the best forum in the world...

:) stop reading, you know where it is....

It's no just Microsoft though.

My Macintosh says "Was this computer shut down properly?" when booting back up from a crash.

Still, Microsoft do own a chunk of Apple, so I suppose some of their influence must rub off.

Tony, I think Christos was talking about an elephant, maybe he is obbessed with them?

Who Knows?

Who Cares?

This, on the other hand, belongs somewhere else.

In the Worlds Longest or on FOG Chatter.

Absolutely - it's the stuff of the FOG, to a tee.

Sonic, I am just saying in general on Microsoft Windows run PC's:

'WHERE DID THE RAM GO?'

thats all...

I have the automatic scandisk disabled, I use the windows one. It is less annoying and insulting and it is supposed to work better. So I've been told!!
