Because there are no new colours for Rowntrees to make new
Smarties in, they are going to start selling the same old colours
but onstead of the whitish layer that you get when the top colour
comes off, the layer will be yellowish. I certainly wont be buying
them, I can tell you!
(that was supposed to be 'instead' by the way)

  Here is some more "user interactive" termology, suitable for the more stupid
users.

  Or it can be: (1)"punch any key when really to" - the monitor
                (2)"Grenade any key to quit"      - with a grenade - excellent
                                                    for automatic Power-Down(tm)
                                                    systems.
                (3)"Head butt any Key"            - This is a really old one, I
                                                    know. I included it in a
                                                    game called "brick" of the
                                                    Commodore Vic-20 when I was
                                                    in year 8.
                (4)"Daisy Bomb any Key"           - The good thing about this
                                                    one is that; not only do you
                                                    get to kill your computer,
                                                    you also have the added 
                                                    advanage of suffocating it
                                                    as well.

 
  Let me digress a second here. I read about this study done on users,
that studied the various reactions of computer programs. It was found that
women hated messages like "Abort", "Kill", "Abortive End (ABend)",
"abortive Kill" etc

  So for all you app. programmers out there....kept that in mind *tee hee tee hee*



 OTHERS:

       (1) "Karate' chop any key"
       (2) "Fart on any key"      -  (I'm brain storming here ...ignore that one)
       (3) "Scud Missile any key"
       (4) "Jump in the bath tub and slash your wrists press any key the continue"

I have solved the problem of exchange rate instability! We just have to
introduce a new international law to the effect that every country must
rename its currency after itself. [Zaire, by the way, leads the world in
this as in so many other respects. Yes, I know that the currency of
Costa Rica is the colon.]
Now clearly the French are not going to accept 5 Frenchmen=1 American.
Nor will the Iraqis accept that they are only worth one millionth of a
Kuwaiti or whatever. So politicians of all kinds will have a powerful
incentive to follow cautious fiscal policies.

More Alt.comp.stupidity FAQ's:


  Q: If the computer catches a virus, does that mean I can get it?

  A: Yes. So make sure you put those disk condoms on those disks of
     yours.


  Q: Sorry, I just can't seem to get this bloody report done,...what
     seems to be the trouble?

  A: Ok...first we will get your fist out of the monitor screen and get
      it bandaged up.



  I hate it when novice users refer to files as "documents" all the time.
For example the "command.com" document. Or the "autoexec.bat" document and
how do you copy this "greps.com" document to the "a" - ":" - "drive". That
really gives me the shits.
