Surely that belongs in one (or all) of the many quotes threads made earlier?

Nick King wrote: Yeah, years ago a lot of products (e.g. Windows, DOS, Office, Borland C++, etc) used to come with LOADS of manuals - so many that you'd need to take up weightlifting to try and pick the damn things up... :)

With the advent of CD's, these books were then put onto CD and you "used" to be able to then send off for the printed versions from the manufacturer...

Then they couldn't be bothered, and decided that a neat way of making more money was to publish the manuals as books that you could buy in the shops...

And, thus, another excuse for making money was born... :)

Yeah...have you seen how much it would cost for a complete set of windows docs?

it's into the £000's

part of why I love linux, everything I need to know is at my fingertips if only I can be arsed to look (after kicking the computer, formatting it, that kind of thing). Actually, I'm fairly sure it fixed ITSELF 3 days ago cos it could't stand the sight of me stressing (DVD burner insisting on burning at 8x when the discs were flakey at that speed, it just STOPPED and dropped to 4x, no help from me)

My wee sis bought me a poster of "bushisms"...Everyone I know has read it except me...cos if I read more than three of them I am overcome by the most powerful blend of embarrassment, pity, rage and blind terror.

And you also get that when Cozzie posts as well?

there's no such thing as US English BTW, it's just something Macroshaft made up to cover up shite spelling. :D

how did this get from tech talk to pleasurezones? silly question. this is nool. ok back to bed now.

OK, to assure my fellow NOOLer's, I am aware of slang. I know that there are other meanings of "play." I know my generation's trends.

Edit: You guys are so much into TPK, oh yes you are.

Nope....

1. Cozzie is not stupid (she can go toe to toe with the registry editor). Just extremely daft and innocent to the point of affliction.
2. I have on occasion laughed with cozzie, only ever AT dubya
3. Cozzie does not have the world's most functionally nonfucked [1] atomic arsenal at her fingertips.

No you don't. You're just saying that, to make yourself look good.

Ron, I hope you didn;t uncomfortably drag yer hole from a nice conmfy bed to see if anything sensible had been said round here.

And if you did, it's a shrink you need mate not an MD :D

i thought i drag myself out of bed to see if i could make it to work today. needless to say that was a mistake, but thanks for the entertainment guys.

I knew what the slang meant long before today. God, you guys have TPK fever. I was being congenial, and it's all of you who took it way out of line. Man, British humo(u)r did blow up in my face.

English is English. End of. Meaning the English spell it right.

I.e: Colour, not color Centre, not center Foetus, not fetus.

There are more...

Edit: This isnt a dig at Americans on this site, i've never noticed anyone spelling in the fabled 'US English' on here.

Well, cross over the Atlantic when you have time Twatto.

Actually we can thank Webster for the US spelling and dialect.

When the US broke away from Britian, Webster believed to build nation pride, our own dilect was needed. He wanted to seperate US spelling and is the one who first spelled "color", "gray", "center" and many other words. He was also the first to put in the phoenetic sounding that dictionaries have, because he thought the nation would stand apart if everyone spoke in one way. His idea of the dictionary has been out sold by only one other book, the Bible.

I love this site...you learn so many things.
