Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-17-2004 09:30 PM                     Ever wonder why some error messages came up when you fed some bogus information to your old DOS computer?

I did that as a prank to several people's command.com's back in the late 1980s. Cool!  |  IP: Logged
