  • "The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives."

    — Chuck Palahniuk

    I found this collecting dust in the basements of my PC. For your amusement...
    For the people in need of help when installing new software. It's a bit outdated but who knows, might still work ;)

    HOW TO INSTALL SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER..

    1. Examine the software packaging until you find a little printed box that
    explains what kind of computer system you need to run the software. It
    should look something like this:
    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
    2386 PROCESSOR OR HIGHER
    628.8 MEGAHERTZ MODEM
    719.7 MB FREE DISK SPACE
    3546 MB RAM
    432323 MB ROM
    05948737 MB RPM ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
              NOTE: This software will not work on your computer.

    2. Open the software packaging and remove the manual. This will contain detailed instructions

     on installing, operating, and troubleshooting the software. Throw it away.

    3. Find the actual software, which should be in the form of either a
    3.5-inch floppy diskette or a CD-ROM, located inside a sealed envelope that says:
    LICENSING AGREEMENT:
    By breaking this seal, the user hereinafter agrees to abide by all the terms
    and conditions of the following agreement that nobody ever reads, as well as
    the Geneva Convention and the U.N. Charter and the Secret Membership Oath of
    the Benevolent Protective Order of the Elks and such other terms and
    conditions, real and imaginary, as the Software Company shall deem necessary
    and appropriate, including the right to come to the user's home and examine
    the user's hard drive, as well as the user's underwear drawer if we feel
    like it, take it or leave it, until death do us part, one nation
    indivisible, by the dawn's early light,....finders keepers, losers weepers,
    thanks you've been a great crowd, and don't forget to tip your servers.

    4. Hand the software to a child aged 3 through 12 and say, "(Name of child),
    please install this on my computer."

    5. If you have no child age 3 through 12, insert the software in the
    appropriate drive, type "SETUP" and press the Enter key.

    6. Turn the computer on, you idiot.

    7. Once again type "SETUP" and press the Enter key.

    8. You will hear grinding and whirring noises for awhile, after which the
    following message should appear on your screen:
    The installation Program will now examine your system to see what would be
    the best way to render it inoperable. Is it OK with you? Choose one, and be
    honest:
    +-------+ +--------+ | YES | | SURE | +-------+ +--------+

    9. After you make your selection, you will hear grinding and whirring for a
    very long time while the installation program does God knows what in there.
    Some installation programs can actually alter molecular structures, so that
    when they're done, your computer has been transformed into an entirely new
    device, such as a food processor. At the very least, the installation
    program will create many new directories, sub-directories,
    sub-sub-directories, on your hard drive and fill them with thousands of
    mysterious files with names like "puree.exe," "fester.dat," and "doo.wha."

    10. When the installation program is finished, your screen should display
    the following message:
    CONGRATULATIONS The installation program cannot think of anything else to do
    to your computer and has grown bored. You may now attempt to run your
    software. If you experience any problems, electrical shocks, insomnia,
    shortness of breath, nasal discharge, or intestinal parasites, you should
    immediately
    *!@!$)$%@&*^)$*!#$_$.

    11. At this point your computer system should become less functional than
    the federal government, refusing to respond even when struck with furniture.

    12. Call the toll-free Technical Support Hotline number listed on the
    package and wait on the line for a representative, who will explain to you,
    in a clear, step-by-step manner, how to adopt a child aged 3 through 12.
