My wife had a class with David Bradley as the guest lecturer at NC State. He was widely known to everyone on campus as "The CTRL-ALT-DEL Guy."

Only Microsoft could have thought up taking something that originally meant an emergency PC reset and turned it into logging in to using your computer.

Well, biker chick, you were just a little slow on the draw. I'll make it up to you. I'll inquire about having a painting of Al Gore put on your street and you can burn rubber on it all you want.

"Well, biker chick, you were just a little slow on the draw. I'll make it up to you. I'll inquire about having a painting of Al Gore put on your street and you can burn rubber on it all you want."Thank you kindly. Smoky burn outs on Al Gore's face is almost more fun than sex.
I SAID ALMOST!!!

That's what I like about biker chicks... the ability to put things in their proper perspective, and their desire to perform smoky burn outs as they ride and ride and ride.

You just want her to continue to enjoy riding that stick shift you just installed in the torture chamber. (Er, dental chair.)

"Bill Gates has no sense of humor whatsoever." I've used too many Microsoft applications to believe that.
I actually think Bill is probably a pretty normal guy. A leftist in most respects. But an alright guy compared to other computer moguls like Jobs and Steve Case.
