A couple more. I'm starting to run out of ideas. Drag some other people over here.

One for Printers:
'Thou shalt not tell the computer you don't exist when I can clearly see you'
One for modems too:
'Thou shalt not freeze up half way through recieving e-mails'
And another:
'Thou shalt not fail to load a page you just blood well opened two minutes ago!'
They any good?

Done. With luck, we'll be able to replacing the weaker ones soon.

I'll get right on it. By the way, what exactly is an OS? I've got a rough idea but I'd like to be sure.

Operating system. Windows, Unix, Linux etc. As distinct from the hardware, the BIOS (The very early stuff during boot on your motherboard) and the application software. It's supposed to handle program interaction with devices, and perform task scheduling and switching.

Tempting... But it leaves us (and/or Auntie) open to litigation. I was having second thoughts about the IE dig.

Well... how about this:
'Thou cannot use the excuse "I can't count past 1", it is garbage and you know it!'
I'll leave you to edit it, as usual...
