This is funny IMHO

OK, this is the third time I try to share this thing. It seems like a harmless gag to me, but then who knows. Two moderators have already killed the thread, one was probably right, since the link downloaded the program without so much as a second chance to say "maybe I don't want to do this."

I went to a reasonable looking site with helpful osX utilities called if then soft. It seemed ok, not some dark humored skag of a site.

They have a program there that claims to be a software and hardware diagnostic, but warns that you should read the fine print.

I downloaded it and ran it. I was a little surprised that there was no small print, and I couldn't stop the process after it started.

Then the diagnostic report came. What a scream! It is really funny!

So I risk my reputation and the good will of the moderators and I try one last time to share what seems to me to be a harmless gag. We could all use a good laugh, it's healthful.

If you are brave, xchek is here, but read the fine print first.

If there's something wrong with it please tell me because I can't help but run the thing, the reports are hilarious.

The fine print is at the very bottom of "Help XChek."

If you're real quick, you can see the DiskChek part scroll "Contacting Microsoft" at one point.

No fun...last time I ran it, it actually came up with No errors found in all checks...
