    Nick,

    I want either "I told you I was sick!" or "I thought therefore I was" on
    y
    headstone.

    A program in this session has encountered a problem and cannot
    continue.

    We apologise for the inconvenience.

    LOL!!

    Sean,

    I want either "I told you I was sick!" or "I thought therefore I was"
    on my headstone.

    The first one was the hypochondriac's wish...the second one is a nice pun.

    Fun fact: I am to be buried at the Mountain Home National Cemetery in Mountain Home, TN (inside Johnson City, TN) since I served honorably in the US Army. I made plans already. With my health, I could quite literally drop dead at any minute and I don't want to cause any more stress than needed for my family.

    Thank you for your service. :) Pre-arrangement is a necessity. There is a local business that offers "cremation only" (no service or visitation) for around $800 (it may be higher now)...but a bare bones funeral can easily
    top $12,000 in cost.

    I think of the joke where this guy wakes up in the morgue, and wonders
    "If I'm alive, what am I doing here?? And, if I'm dead, how come I have
    to go to the bathroom??". :P

    Sean,

    Please wait while we transmit your private data to the federal three-letter agency of your choice.

    That's like the guy who said his mother-in-law was president of
    NBC -- the Nagging Brat Committee. <G> In line with that, the
    tagline below is appropriate.

    ... How come we never hear any father-in-law jokes?

    Nick,

    In Windows 10 the BSOD is now a big frowny-face and a QR code.

    I haven't seen that on the BBS computer yet (Windows 10, 32-bit),
    or on my laptop (Windows 11, 64-bit).

    Now, I've probably jinxed myself. <G>

    Shaun,

    If you'd ever spent time in customer support, you'd already know the answer to that question.

    'Uh, what's right click mean?' (o_O)

    Customer: I can't find the ANY key!! My cup holder broke!! I plugged
    the power strip into itself, and nothing's happening. <G>

    Tech Support: You're too stupid to own a computer. :P

    Admittedly, I was my late Mom's computer guru, and the BBS is now
    on what was her desktop computer.

    PEBKAC - problem exists between keyboard and chair

    Thanks for explaining that one.

    Daryl

    ... OK, after this message, we're BACK on TOPIC.
