Re: Press Any Key to Continue...
Once, when Win98 was just coming out, I wrote a joke program for a
more-than-fanatic friend that faked a Windows 99 upgrade setup, and appeared
to end in disaster. When he didn't laugh, I sent him the Windows 100
installer (after 99 comes 100, right?), which purported to be a "Windows for
Neural Networks" (you furnished the neurons), and also ended disastrously
saying "Your brain doesn't have enough memory to run this version of
Windows. Please restore your mind from backup."
Now that I think of it, I'm not laughing, either.
