My husbands normal job is the phone guy- he installs and maintains telephone systems and networks+cabling and runs all the offices in the SE. Thats irrelevant. One of our other ventures is computer recoverer- if your computer crashes he recovers and fixes it back to like new without losing your hard drive.
Friday he brings one home, and its got all this bible stuff all over it, thats all cool BUT. Hes in the process of restoring everything- and as normal(99% of the time what I am about to type is what crashes em) he goes through all the stuff to locate the problem. Deep inside all this bible study stuff, hidden real well is some of the nastiest adult content I have ever spied. I am talking the kind you have to pay good money for.
Soooooooooo here you have someone pretending to be all pious and upstanding, and deep inside they are just Jimmy Swaggart dying to get out. Just come out and admit it already....
This is like the third time in a row something amusing like this has come across us..If you ever go pick one up and the first thing they say is "THERES NO **** ON HERE" be prepared to make your eyes burn later.Last time it was the real life version of Dana Carvey's church lady. Adult stuff from the net makes a LOT of spyware and other goodies that attach to your files..And if you never clean it out it eventually crashes. 855 adawares were on it.

Bottom line, the computer is like new again and we learned something new about yet someone else.

SO beware - if you like the good stuff, don't hide behind something cause the second your computer fries, your secret is out.

 

Ask him if he ever worked on a "System 30" or a "System 30 PLUS".

Those telephone systems were designed by life long enemies, ex-wifes, and Camaro owners.

 

You can get **** on your computer via programs installed via IE, through someone using an insecure computer with broadband as an ftp/file repository, etc.

Someone else might have been using the computer as well.

Don't be so quick to judge.

 

If I judged that would mean I would have to delete mine right? I just found it amusing..


No never heard of that phone system beast- he does Partners, Norstar, Meridian, Secession, voip, legends, Cisco etc...www.natcomm.net. Norstar is my favorite ever, I love playing with em. We had one in the house forever. His phone was forever getting messed with by me.

 

The most I have found on a customers computer was 1300....

 

The first time I installed Spy Sweeper on my parents computer I got over 1000 off. It was amazing how much faster the computer was after I did some regular maintenance. Now that is my regular job, to keep there computer running smoothly.

Ask your husband, or you may no, how difficult is it to upgrade to Windows 2000 from Windows 98? I am afraid that my photo editing program will not work anymore if I do it.

 

Windows Kill me(win ME) or Windows Xp?

 

Not exactly sure what I am talking about either. Did they come in this order?
1-Windows 95
2-Windows 98
3-Windows ME
4-Windows XP

If thats right....then I guess I want to Upgrade to Windows ME from Windows 98.

 

You were right the first time talking about Windows 2000.

Nobody upgrades to ME, it's a dead end POS.

(By the way, Windows 95/98/ME were on a different code path than Windows NT/2000/XP. The latter is much more stable.)

No point in going to 2000, though it is better than 98. Go for XP, but be certain your hardware can handle it first.

Your photo software will work fine.

 

never ever no matter what you do- DO not install windows Kill ME on anything. Its a POS platform. XP is the only way!

 

I know they said it already, but I'm an Engineer, and did stadard computer support before this....if you put ME on your asking for trouble. IMEO...(E is for expert )

 

So I guess I am just better off buying a whole new computer. I have already upgraded this one twice for more memory.

 

go with linux! the penguin rocks

 

If you're goin' from 98, you might as well start over on a new pc, and do the file and settings transfer wizard thing over a network. And/or do a hard wired transfer from the old drive into the new system into a folder called "Old Files" or something, just in case.

I just *LOVE* doin' upgrades... They're just SO much fun. Especially when it's not my computer.

("Oh. You didn't tell me you needed Office installed. What's that? You got it from a buddy, and you don't have the disk? Oh. Well it's a bazillion dollars. Go to the store. No, I can't give you a copy. Because it's illegal, that's why. Oh, sure I give you one, then I gotta give someone else one, then I go to jail. No way. No. Stop it. Ok. I love you. Bye sis!" [click] )

Yeah. Funtimes.

 

OH, and on the **** thing. man, you are so right, April, people are so much Saints, but their computer tells the tale. I just grin and nod knowingly to myself.

And then I transfer their goat **** to my machine...

No, wait, did I say that outloud... goodness me, never would I do such a thing...

 

WHAT? You don't extort em with it?
There was animal love on your machine, that will be 80 bajillion dollars please. Or I tell everyone.

Ain't had one yet that isn't filled with it. Bwaa haaa haa.

 

hmm the most I got off a computer was 9027. we see some messed up computers our geeksquad office. anyway, BUY A MAC!!!!!!!!

 

Wow......I am more and more thankful for my computer guy (who gives freebie software) and is alot more knowledgable about some of this crap than I am. I think I may buy a whole new system after tax time, but then again if it ain't broke don't fix it.

edit: On second thought I am sick and tired getting "This page can not be displayed" It only started after I hooked up a USB hub so I could hook my digital camera back up. I believe I am overloaded again!

 

Haha! on the **** thing...
Working in a retail store IT dept., a guy returned a DVD player but he wanted the DVD that was stuck in it. So, the bossman brings it back to my office and askes if I can the disc out w/o damaging the player or disc.
So, after a few minutes, I have half the manager staff in my office looking over my shoulder as I pull out a DVD with adult situations portrayed on the cover along with a video store label!
Ah, good times ...

 

Man, that just sounds so wrong... Especially on this thread.
