That reminds me of what I did to my computer teacher. We stuck a floppy on her computer and downloaded a joke program that made the start icon dance around the screen whenever you put your mouse over it. biglaugh.gif The only way to turn it off was a sequence of keys, like ctrl alt f9 or something, so we had quite a bit of laughs biglaugh.gif

Banana Boy- Familiar
Alignment: Light
Xanthor Drathos - Sorceror
Class info:
Sorcerer: Like wizards, but bound to darkness. Sorcerers practice spells of destruction and darkness. Like wizards, they are physically weak, though can do massive damage if given the chance to cast a spell.
- Intelligence Effect (per point): Decreases EP consumption of abilities by 15
- Strength Effect (per point): Normal attack DP + 2
Hometown: Shral Valeron
Race: Dark Elves: Diverging into the path of Darkness at an undetermined date during the Second Age, Dark Elves have become one of the few true evil races in Earthia. They consider Undead to be below them, and scowl at all races and classes not allied with Darkness. While they are not known to hide in the shadows like other Dark races, they are probably one of the most capable of directly harnessing the dark powers of the world to do their bidding.
- For Dark classes: Intelligence + 10; At a post count of 4000, Intelligence + 20 instead

Me Spells

- Dark Grip (0): EC=5; DP=4: Surrounds the target with a dark mist, doing minor damage.

*Chuckles* I haven't blown anything at all, although numerous paper jams in the printer... bluetongue.gif

Uh, worst thing was a floppy disk getting stuck in the drive, and having to use pliers to wrench it out.

Jeez, I really don't kill my computer, even if I am on it for at least 5 hours on a school night alone bluetongue.gif

I did something very naughty to my old computer. This computer is like, 15 years old and such, so I decided to have a little fun with it. I opened it out, pulled out the 24 megabite harddrive, and reformatted it with a baseball bat. Afterwards, I took some gasoline and poured it all over the motherboard and maybe the power supply. bluetongue.gif When i lit the match, my sleeve caught on fire along with the rest of the computer. I pwn3d the comp, but burnt my shirt in the process.

heh, the computer im using right now has often been the bane of my life. at any random time, no matter what you do, it just resets. it doesnt have any messages or anything, one minute youre doing anything, then suddenly you find yourself looking at a black screen....the record is 6 times in less than 10 minutes...so since i have dailup (yes, i know, mock me  sad.gif ), it makes getting on the net quite annoying..... screama.gif

You should check to see if you have a worm, they can get to your computer unfortunately quite randomly and without warnings but generally cause random shut-downs. Not usually damaging (unless it shuts down at a bad time) and usually easy to cure, it's just finding it that can be difficult if you have one. sad.gif

IM me on "Cspace Support" and I'll be glad to help. TheSmile.gif


Sounds like that worm that was going around a while back, my dads office got it....

My worst computer experiences:

1) I was small at the time, and pretty computer illiterate, but I THINK this is what happened: My brother was messing around on the computer, and he put windows into the recycle bin....we would have recovered it, but you cant get to the recyle bin without opening windows. Circular Logic.

2) In my old 386, I had my favorite "oldie", Megaman X, in the computer when we moved. We had another computer too, so that one was going to be trashed...to make a long story short, I now use an emulator to play megaman X.

3) A freind of mine had a coupla old computers that we got to take apart. I got to keep the keyboard and the CPU (the chip not the whole thing), and now I rearranged the letters on the keyboard in alphabetical order, and I use the AMD-K5 for a brush, when my hair isnt wet anyway. Though this isn't really a computer problem...

4) I was working on a site for some ppl, they now drafted me to update some more, so im working on it AGAIN, but anywho, they wanted be to do all this stuff that required script support. THEIR SERVER DID'T SUPPORT SERVER SIDE SCRIPTING!!! I had to get a remotely hosted mailing script...and some of the stuff I had to throw out the window, It just couldn't be done with a server like theirs...
