Whoopee!

It's just a jump to the left...

You get your mail at this time of night?

Well I am working late tonight trying crunch some numbers and figure out wth is an Apple everyone keeps talking about. The Rocky Horror Show!!!!!!! Loved it just saw it the other day that meatloaf guy looks like he might be a big star someday!

Actually I think the next line is "...and then a step to the right." :P

Put your hands on your hips...

...you bring your knees in tight.

Then it's the pelvic thrust... till it drives you in sayayayayane.

AND THEN A STEP TO THE RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

I must know: Did they ask for your phone number when you bought that?

wooooooooooooo

Leeeeet's dooooooo the Time Warp agaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!

That's one of the curious things about computers.... an old computer back in its day, it could do tons of stuff, even run a game like Total annihilation!

But try to get an old computer like that to work today with modern software and its just useless.

Find old software/operating system from that computers time and it runs great!

Conclusion is that modern software/operating system must be so overloaded with bullshxx i cannot imagine, so everyone needs fast computers to run it!
