Well, to accomodate for Johan, we'll aim for May 3rd.

(ask Calum to tell you about how the "SUPER COMPUTER" talks to me in a
sexy female voice on power up.)

For those of you who weren't there on Monday night (ie, all of you, since it
was just me and Chris) Chris got a 2Ghz P4 PC which he has named the "SUPER
COMPUTER" (pronounced SOOOOOOPER COMPUUUUUTAR!)  It has the very unfortunate
extra new feature of having a digitized voice say stuff like "Power On Self
Test Completed, Now Starting Operating System" as if the big cloud screen
that says "MICROSOFT WINDOWS 98" didn't clue you into the fact the machine
was doing that.  As a function of the BIOS, you hear this voice EVERY TIME
YOU REBOOT.  And needless to say, over the course of a few hours of
installing a new system, we rebooted many times.

'Gratz on the new cpu Chris!  Is it a nice sexy voice or is it like HAL9000?


BTW speaking of the SUPER COMPUTER.....  it wont be long now.  I just
have to figure out the video editing software, and I will be doing Iain
(esque) movies, but with better music.  Now where did I put that copy of
Hamster Dance????

This was another good reason why Iain should continue making great
rtlToronto videos.  We tried to edit a video and the first piece of music
Chris suggested was of none other than the Hampster Dance song.  Man.

Calum


The Hampster Dance!!!!  Go fer it!!!

I also want to note how a brand new P4 2Ghz has '98 on it!  The wisest move
I can think of, seeing as how all the rest of the Microsoft OS's suxors!

Stay safe

-who is a little out of sorts that he's missing dinner but he's going
canoeing instead (no bugs in early May!)
