Question of the Day! by kickstart2006-11-19 12:26:49

    Let's be EXTRA cruel... by shadowsystems 2005-05-17 03:18:52
Give the Admin's A, singular, non-plural, terminal.
They DO, technically have access to the systems in the room with the marketing droids...

But...

The marketing droids have control of the Über Systems on OC-768 lines, and the Admin is stuck using a *150baud joystick-port-mounted accoustic-coupler modem attacked to a NON-upgraded Commodore PET*...

Now for the cruel part...

It's on a 150' length of un-boosted POTS cable, over an already twitchy-faulty line, with a derranged monkey who enjoys wiggling the plugs to see the sparks fly...

With a power supply that keeps browning out...

And the terminal program is ONLY available on Datasette.

Which has to be reloaded each time the power makes the system puke...

MUH HAHAHahhaahhaaa...

Oh yeah, I am *SO* ready for Monday... BRING IT ON!

(Promptly hides knowing he's just taunted the Gods to TRY and kill him with Lightning Bolts O' Sarcasm...)
