LMAO!!!!!

Thats great!

On a lighter note, I just configured a Dell Workstation (different than their desktop class) for my dad's secretary. It was the most painless PC install I've ever contributed to. I couldn't believe how well it went.

It was a dual-processor 2.6ghz Intel Xeon, Hyper threading enabled, Serial ata drive, the works. And for once, XP (pro) didn't make me angry!

However, the 'experience' was quickly back to normal, as MS outlook crashed during set up, every time, until I went into the registry and deleted several things. Can you believe this app doesn't even have a "incorrect password" dialog box for the setup screen? It just pops up the password box again, as if to say "whats that? I didn't get ya.". If you lucky. Otherwise, it crashes.


Of course, I would have preferred a DP G5, but she wouldn't have that!

Holy Moly!!

What is a secretary doing with a dual-proc Xeon PC?!?!?!? That sucker should be a server running Linux/UNIX/*BSD!!

I'm sure a single-proc P4 or Athlon system would do just fine for clerical work.

Or better yet, an iMac running OS X.
