I quit my job, yay.  (myself and one more person).  I guess I was just tired of that place, wasn't really for me anymore.  ;101     Going back to the computer business again, where I started out. Pays more, and has better hours.

[CaptBrenden]

o_o wow, ive been out geeked on fantasy undead knowlage, its a sign of the endtimes!

[C-Chan]

Wow, guess the Heroes of Might and Magic series got it right then.... -v-

(or at least the makers of the "Wake of the Gods" expansion.) ^__^

Love Bone Dragons even if they are the weakest Lvl 7 Necropolis creatures.  -v-

Well,...
I'm at a loss as to whether to applaud or say "Poor AmigaBob".  But as long as you have the job in the computer business already, guess that's good news.  ^v^

Good for you, AmigaBob!  ^v^

While you're there, be sure to preach the wisdom of non-Windows OSes!  ^v^

eComstation, Linux, Unix, even OSX,... all of them promise far less maintenance costs than even the mightiest Windows platform.  
(Now if only Amiga-chan were more business friendly....  Ã,¬vÃ,¬)

Good for you, Silentbob!  If a job isn't all it could or should be and you've another, higher-paying, job to fall back on then you're quite right to quit the one for the other.

;019

On the other hand, if there isn't actually a job to fall back on....  Well, let's not think about that until Monday.

C-Chan, it's good of you to beat the drums and blow the horns for recognition of all lesser-appreciated operating systems.  I, too, don't like the fact that Microsoft is the big bully of the software world.

But please bear in mind, though, that some of us are just plain stuck with what we've got!  Plus, I think XP-tan is a nice gal who can't help the fact Bill Gates is her father; and she has feelings too, you know, so it seems to me we ought to be cordial and gentlemanly in our treatment of her.

See, I'd wanted to buy an Apple computing system back in 2000; but the big chain store which sold them wouldn't give me any credit ââ,¬â€ the tossers.  But the big chain store which sold IBM/Microsoft-compatible systems was glad to let me pay over time.

Hence, I was stuck with this Compaq Presario 5WV270 and its lovely Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition operating system ââ,¬â€ otherwise known as the Blue Screen Special.  Factor in the reality that I'm on a low, fixed, income and the result is:  I've got to hope and pray this set-up keeps on working.

Yeah, it wasn't easy to get that job, but in the end I did.  The job I had was OK, and ÃÅ' did get to work with computers , but there was too much other stuff involved, too much stress and long hours.  Now I'll have more time to  spend with my Amigas, who knows what positive consequences that'll have.   ;010

Oh yes, I'll always preach.  ^^

[C-Chan]

Poor MisterCat-san, turned away by those nasty Apple Store bakas.... ;__;

No wonder we are the way we are.... -v-

Shoot, if I had known you earlier, I would've offered you the cheap Linux solution.  ^__^

A)  Buy internet access of some kind.

B)  Procure an old Pentium II computer with at least 750MB of hard drive space, a CD-ROM and a modem for pennies on the dollar.

C)  Download a free copy of Damn Small Linux, burn onto a CD and install on said machine.... -v-



D)  Watch that old clunker perform just as fast as any Windows XP setup.  ^___^

Stuff like that is often done in many so-called Third World countries.  -v-
And I sort of did that myself with my Xubuntu machine -- I bought a 5-year old computer for $20 from a coworker whose hard drive got corrupted and Windows OEM disc had long been lost.
I took out the hard drive, popped an old 8gig I had lying around, installed Xubuntu-chan, and have been happy ever since.  She's quite the performance machine despite the small footprint, and helps me with all my torrent downloads.  ^.^

YAY!!! He's willing to preach!!!  ^v^

(And on a side note, my wish was granted at work and a nearby machine was setup with none other than OS/2-SAMA INSTALLED!!!  Now I have something to play with during Lunch!  ^V^)

AND YAY!!!!!  HE'S GONNA SPEND MORE QUALITY TIME WITH HIS FRIENDS!!!!  ^V^

Er,... that is, his "Amigas".  ^v^

*squeals with delight*

It's times like these I wish I could split myself into additional selves and draw Amiga-chan more often.  ^___^

I have two future renditions planned for her: an old picture from the 1980's with her standing in salute alongside PETchan, VIC-20-chan, C64-chan and C128-san, and a contemporary one with her, TripOS, MorphOS and AROS having a little family fun.  ^___^

[Silentbob]

Oof, my back is killing me.  

I'm going to bed, see ya'll tomorrow.   ;hi

PS. Looking forward to those future Amiga renditions of yours, C.   I know I like them already.   ;010

[Q4(V)]

ur all missin out on IRC four ppl were on this time me, Capt Pitkin(UPKM) and DL(UHP)

[Ultimaninja]

To help myself make a good dragon for Aurora (Who's waited so paitently), I will be taking my bow from this stage.

By Christmas expect me to:
1. Be on with my laptop repaired, and my Shuffle game.
2. Be back on with a new desktop(in a few weeks give or take), waiting for my parents to go to bed so I can play my shuffle game.

as always, if it's important, you know where to reach me.

Hmmm...I've fallen behind so many people with posting OS-tan pictures...well, atleast I'm ahead of some people...suppose that's something...

[Aurora Borealis]

Excellent job! Tis the season for zombie snowmen!

[SleepyD]

By Christmas expect me to:
1. Be on with my laptop repaired, and my Shuffle game.

Shuffle!, huh?
I've watched some of the anime.... Somehow, the first character I liked was Mayumi... heh  Then that other dude with glasses was great for comedic moments.

2. Be back on with a new desktop(in a few weeks give or take), waiting for my parents to go to bed so I can play my shuffle game.

hah, I even have to do that with certain anime... strict asian parents live here. haha

Zombie snowmen?  Maybe Jeff should give his OS-tan pics a holiday theme.... provided Jeff finishes in December.  Right, just so you know, my last final ends December 13th, at 10:00 am.  Expect me to start doodling up ideas then.

[C-Chan]

RUN IN TERROR, OR BE CRUSHED BY THE MOBS!!!!

Reminds me of the Invader Zim xmas episode for some reason.  ^^'

Oof, my back is killing me.

I'm going to bed, see ya'll tomorrow.

PS. Looking forward to those future Amiga renditions of yours, C. I know I like them already.

*squeals with delight*  ^v^

Ay, ay, AmigaBob!  *does Commodore salute*
When I'm done, people will be begging to convert to AmigaOS!  ^.^

Gyaah,... no more IRC.... X~X

To help myself make a good dragon for Aurora (Who's waited so paitently), I will be taking my bow from this stage.

I picture the dragon holding up signs like Fark-tan for some reason.  ^^'

Oh well, have fun.  See ya when you're back.  

[NewYinzer]

*pokes head in*
Hi everybody! It's gettin' late, and I thought I'd poke my head in to keep up appearances. There's some weird and random stuff in my life, some of which is threatening Classified Aircraft #3 in Undisclosed Location. Once this conflict is resolved, I'll be back to my usual posting count. See yinz later!

[C-Chan]

Hehe... hope so, cause you're trailing way behind now.  It's getting lonely  up here in the near-1300 range.  ^^'
