software music friend

what about one of the paperclip guys from microsoft word that would poke up when you/re listening to music...

it could recommend shit or be like, "i noticed you haven't listened to boc yet today"

may i recommend the BOC, or maybe some BOC?

i've never seen the paperclip and i've used windows forever. strange.

It was featured in word 97. They removed it in latest version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Assistant

his name is "Clippy"

You know what I miss? Back when home PCs were still fairly new and and Microsoft had all these really infuriatingly harsh default error noises that would repeatedly punish feeble old people didn't know how to use them. :teeth: COMPUTER CUNT RAGEFLIP

Unfortunately computer rage is more rare these days. :on2long:

Heh, I remember that.

You'd head the ding or that little Windows 95 chord synth jab and your heart would just stop.

Fucking computers. Shit we take for granted now. Our kids will never realize that sometimes you would lose all your work for absolutely no reason at all, and there was no secret 12 backup copies being saved in the background at all times.

i dunno what it is about their computers, but you hear the windows error noise like every 5-10 seconds when in a bank.

That's the account overdraw alert noise.

haha yes. fcourse.

I made it through my entire undergraduate degree with a black and white screened mac classic. When I first started studying 3D, all students were required to back up to tape. SGI 02 machines were considered the creme of graphics plaforms, they sold for some ridiculous amount, like $10k. Those were the days...

Far out, backing up to tape! That must have been such a pain in the ass having to fast-forward and rewind all the time.

last.fm?

i went to use an ATM recently and it seemed it was running XP, had a message like "your computer is running low on memory", with an OK button

What is sick is some of those old SGI render rigs still sell for several hundred dollars, despite being under 300mhz pieces of shit. Probably people in Cuba or Haiti buying them like old photo copiers. I still can get $50 for a bottle of 15 year old toner lol.
