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

I guess my handle needs a little explanation.

It is a combination of two of the world's evils: Microsoft's Setup Wizard and the Ronco Juice Weasel.

Ever notice that when you're installing a program in Windows (for instance IE 5.0) and when the Setup Wizard pops up it seems that it's only goal is to weasel the program into as many nooks, crannies and shared files that it can so that you can't completely uninstall it no matter how hard you try? That is why I replace the word Wizard with Weasel.

It works for Microsoft's other Weasels too. For instance the Help Weasel, the Maintainence Weasel, and the infamos Internet Connection Weasel (all programed to do exactly what Microsoft wants you to to).

That's it. No biggie really. I'm just happy it got in Hotmail and Yahoo without having to tack any numbers on it.
 

So where does Ronco fit in with all this?

They just gave me the idea to call something a Weasel. (I may be wrong about Ronco making the Juice "Weasel", but they made a Juice Something, so it may as well be them.
