gamehead200 Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Well, I've been at my dad's office for about an hour or so now and I was just bored... So, I just stuck one of those big paperclips into one of the Dell's USB ports, and lo-and-behold Windows found a new USB device! It even said it installed the drivers for it! But after, it just said it couldn't recognize it...Did it again after that and the computer restarted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zprog Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Actually, creating a driver for Gamehead's paperclip would be a great idea. If you have two, then we can create a driver that changes the background of the desktop based on whether or not the two paperclips are touching.I shall call that ...

arablizzard2413 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 now, now you don't want to give Microsoft any marketing ideas... they might start manufacturing "Microsoft Paper-clip®" for your Microsoft home "Office®"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Wow. what a huge surprise if the floppy accepts the visa card! It's not a joke, really. Here it is:Customer: "Hi. I'm trying to buy something on the Internet, and the web site wants my credit card." Tech Support: "Ok. If your positive it's a secure connection, and you're on a reputable dealer's site, go ahead and enter the numbers." Customer: "Well, every time I insert my credit card, nothing happens. Now it's stuck." Tech Support: "What?! Insert your card? What do mean it's stuck?" Customer: "It won't come out of the slot."I decided to see exactly what she was talking about. My fears were confirmed when I arrived at her cubicle. She had been trying to slide the card into the floppy drive and managed to push it all the way in. I decided to have fun with her and told her it was being electronically sent over the line to the web site. She stared at me with a look of shock on her face, and said something I'll never forget: "Is that what they mean by 'Credit card transactions can take twenty-four hours to process.'?"
