[Cialug] Argh/Microsoft/Argh

[Mathew R. Phillips]

Ha ha. My roommate this year fixed xboxes all last summer and resold them on ebay. Of all the things he's told me about them basically they are designed to blow up on you. No wonder they aren't releasing another console for a couple more years. They want everyone to buy 4 of this one first!

I told Windows to delete several gigs of tiny little text files on the
server mid-afternoon yesterday.  By the time I left it was still doing
its little animated folder icon.  I just logged into the server this
morning and there was a dialog box:

     "This folder is too big for the Recycle Bin.  Do you want to
permanently delete it?  Yes/No"

The progress bar hadn't moved an inch.  It's no wonder the Xbox does
so well.  Microsoft has had years of practice creating a video game
called "Windows".
