h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

TC, I like the way you think.
I also like your taste in men!
Bruce Willis....hmmmm!!!
Preferably in a torn vest

Not for Americans, I don't think. Since you guys are on the other (some might say "wrong") side of the Atlantic, it'd probably take a while to load anyway. Transmission time and all that.

Besides, I'm not giving up what might soon be my new computer.

Can I come & share yours then?
'Cos mine is only fit for scrap

Who said he was wearing anything?

Only if you bring Mina with you.

My current computer is crap, too. So's the one at work. Funny thing is, there's this big upgrading program to upgrade "everyone's" computer to Pentium III 600 MHz models. I say "everyone" because "everyone" doesn't include me. I'm crammed away in a spare cube with a computer that technically doesn't exist, as far as my company's concerned.

Woo-hoo.

T.C.:Well, wouldn't it be fun ripping the ripped vest off?
I can just ~hear~ that sound...
Wampus: I'll ask Mina how she's fixed...

Boy, two subjects going at once makes for a strange-looking conversation...

I'd prefer Harrison Ford...

You're right about the two subjects of the thread at the same time, Wampus, but it does make for interesting reading.

I wouldn't mind at all if Meg Ryan stopped by for a visit for Christmas. If she can't make it,though, I still be delighted if I got that Irish girl, walking around at work, looking all gorgeous all the time.

I would like my computer here at work to get upgraded to at least Windows 95 instead of this crappy OS/2 that we're running now.

Hmmmm .... some Love in a Cold Climate would be good ......

Erm, where am I supposed to be being taken to?
Somewhere hot and sunny?
*looks hopeful*

Hmm, let's see.
I'd like a new PC, a new stereo, a widescreen TV, a new digital camera that takes pictures at a higher resolution than 640x480, 10 million pounds in used notes and a ticket to the Bahamas.

........Or some .

No, but the Editorial team would have a bloody good Christmas...

Yes, actually. The weather where I am is pretty mild, and sunny about 75% of the year. Not quite so warm as Los Angeles or San Diego, but it's getting there.

I'd be quite happy to pop myself into your stocking then. I'm fed up with being cold all the time.

Just the one stocking?

Woo-hoo. I'll just shove out that spoiled brat Britney Spears to make room.

so's mine. my solution to this problem is to go down to the local library and use their computers, since they are so much faster and don't use Bl*elight. it's free and much faster, but i get kicked off sometimes. solution to this? hide the sign in sheet with my arm and hope no one is RUDE enough to actually check to see how long i've been on and make me get off. there's no such thing as

Agreed. I'd like Liverpool Uni to have a network overhaul, so there's just one machine connected to the net at any one time, namely the one I'm on

I suppose you could go around snipping cables if you really wanted. You could call it a manual bandwidth reallocation.
