If Dr. Seuss was a technical writer...


What if Dr. Seuss was a technical writer? Here are several examples of what he may write to help you resolve your computer problems.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!

If the above doesn't help with your computer troubles, perhaps this will.

If the label on the cable on the table at your house, Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol, That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse, Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risc, Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM. Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!

That was...quite possibly...one of the coolest things I've ever read in my life. :heart:
 
Over the last 6 months L and I have played Bioshock 1 & 2, Portal 1, Sealhunter, Eversion! Portal 2 will be all the sweeter when we get our hands on it.

We have also painted and sold some M:tG cards for good money, and some pieces werebought by a tournament organiser as a prize! We opened a joint savings account for the money today! Hooray! We're playing magic weekly with a growing group on Fridays. 100 card EDH is popular atm.

I'd like the Space Hulk board game, maybe around Christmas.
