New virus alert!!

gwenith, BSN, RN · Jun 1, 2003

One of the best computer jokes I ever came across was a program that left the computer on standby until someone hit a key then the screen would flash the following message

"Warning - water has been detected in your A drive"

"Spin cycle now starting Draining A drive" Then a rising whine like a washing machine would come out of the computer followed by the message

"Drain cycle now complete - please resume"

I pulled this one on some colleagues and actually caught them looking under the computer to see where the water was coming out.:roll

More computer humour

. When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant

it to happen.

2. When you get to the point where you really understand your

computer, it's probably obsolete.

3. The first place to look for information is in the section of

the manual where you least expect to find it.

4. When the going gets tough, upgrade.

5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.

6. To err is human . . . to blame your computer for your

mistakes is even more human, it is downright natural.

7. He who laughs last probably made a back-up.

8. If at first you do not succeed, blame your computer.

9. A complex system that does not work is invariably found to

have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.

10. The number one cause of computer problems is computer

solutions.

11. A computer program will always do what you tell it to do,

but rarely what you want to do.

My son almost killed my wife by downloading an audio clip from somewhere and attaching it to the shutdown button. When she next turned the computer off, the Enterprise's computer voice announced " ONE MINUTE TO AUTO-DESTRUCT!" and she ran around screaming for a bit!
