Earlier Today Microsoft spokesman The Rock sensationally crashed mid-sentence while giving a press conference. Microsoft technicians postponed the conference, about the prospective launch of a fondu set add-on for the x-box, while they attempted to reboot the Rock. Unfortunately the conference was then cancelled when it emerged that the Rock would need to be completely formatted and have each component seperately reinstalled. The strange events were particularly harrowing for Mrs.Rock, the Rock's beleaguered mother. Speaking exclusively to this newspaper she said:
"I was so happy when he got himself a proper job, where he didn't have to wear spandex pants to work everyday, and began to stop talking about himself in the third person. Things were looking up but now he's completely different; he doesn't remember anything."

Microsoft technicians said that the route of the problem lay with the Rock's refusal to upgrade himself to Windows XP until Service Pack 1 was released. Said one technician, Fritz the Cat, "Rocky's working fine at the moment but he should have upgraded, you know. We advice all our clients to do the same."

Thanks to new Windows XP technology Bill Gates was able to continue a recent publicity shoot when one of his eyes crashed. At the time he commented "Thank god for new XP technologies that mean if one component crashes, your system doesn't!" However, Gates was dismayed to discover that when his eye was rebooted it was no longer compatible with XP and that drivers for his model were no longer available.

If you haven't already upgraded to XP then watch out, you could be next...

I'd just like to say that I only write these because I find them mildly amusing. You might notice how they are the only topics I actualy post in FOG chat. There's no GAD attempting in here. I'll keep posting these no matter ho many GAD's I don't win. :-)

Besides if I am DVD'd out at the moment so I'm not really that bothered whether I win or not. But hey, it beats writing "i fink da 'cube rules coz it has grafics".
