    Ok, so get this. Raze and I were scheduled for a Microsoft Technet Scripting training class. It was offered free to the world all this week. So, we show up via Microsoft Live Meeting and they are having technical difficult. The slides wouldn't show up. So, they investigate and determine that Live Meeting, a Coporate Grade collabration/meeting tool can not handle the number of people at the meeting. Heh. We had a good laugh at that. So, after 30 minutes, they finally tell us they need to cancel the meeting until they can determine what the problem is and how to fix it.

    Good old Microsoft. :-)

    That is way to funny.

    Similar story, I saw a video of Bill Gates and some dude showing off XP when it first came out. They were explaining how XP will recognize new hardware as soon as u plug in the device.

    Now the funny part.

    Bill Gates says, "Now all you do here is just grab this cord, and plug it in, and Windows will Automa.....Oooooooo."

    At that point, on a Wall Size Projection screen, in front of like at least a 1000 people, XP Crashed to Blue Screen .

    Funniest sh*t ever.

    I thought it was XP too, but Raze found the video. It's actually windows 98. I can't believe it has been that long ago.

    umm Im 23 turning 24 this year, so I was 18 when that came out. The only reason I wasnt driving then, is cuz all of my cars break down. Im cursed. But also driving a "Drivers Ed" style car like a Nascar prolly didnt help that much.

    In my last car, an 89 Corsica, i made a 20 / 25 min drive to our Capitol in 7 ana half minutes. And some of it was a traffic jam that I just weaved in and out of, never lost speed, and It was reeely fun. :twisted:

    I miss driving so much. My neighbor Jack Whitaker won the PowerBall Jackpot, I wonder if he'd buy me a car? hmmm time to plan a strat for that.

    My favorite video of Billy-boy is the one where the guy pied him in the face. That is a classic. Although I have to give props for the Win98 bluescreen.
