Push the buttons for each system if you like.



Best post I've ever seen here!!!


Back in the days of Win98 a small file was out. Looked like a simple
utility to improve your computer performance. When you clicked it
"said" deleting all files. That never happened but people panicked.
It was a joke. People freaked out hitting the power off switch. The
file was harmless.




Yes, I recall stuff like that.

I remeber one that made a sound like a centriguge spinning up and it
said it was "drying out the hard drive" When it finished it made a
gurgling sound and If I remember correctly, showed a blank c: Drive in
a fake windows explorer screen.
