AOL is the devil. Everyone who has ever owned a computer knows that. Poor Dan's computer was a victim of AOL abuse. Not really, but it is what he blames all of his electronic problems on. Dan custom built his computer, with all the latest chips and hard drive. Souped up with a Gigabyte of RAM, his computer was capable of completing a Unified Field Theory and solving the meaning of life simultaneously. There was just one problem. It didn't work. Everytime he managed to get Windows installed on the computer, Windows managed to then uninstall the contents of his hard drive. We are all sure that Windows came with AOL included, and that was the real problem. Nevertheless, Dan has made the Guiness Book of World Records for most times reformatting a computer. If think you have reformatted your computer more than 53 times, please contact http://www.guinness.ie/ and tell them about your feat, and that your name should be on the record, not Dan's. So, after many nights of tossing and turning and unable to sleep, Dan finally managed to get Windows 98 installed on his computer. What was the problem? Let's see if I remember... bad memory. No, I mean, his computer had bad memory. So after Dan shoved another stick into his computer, it was all set. What? What's so funny? Why are you laughing? OK... I'll just continue with my story... basically, it turned out like this: Dan's computer went from crashing to processing SETI data units for me (but only after two long months of being on campus and the thing crashing constantly). Nevertheless, we, his roommates, have noticed a dramatic effect since his computer started working. [Brief moment of static] Roger that? [Similar moment of static]
