Just wondering if you had heard of that before. I'll let you know about the multiplier lock later. Call me crazy, but if a CPU is making noise, that is a bad thing. I have had fans grind to halt, power supplies explode, and even a hard drive that sounded like it had ball-bearings on the platter, but never a CPU make noise. Perhaps our hero has stumbled onto something here.
Work is, well, work.
I recently implemented a system policy to restrict access to the Display Properties, since I was tired of staring at pictures of user's kids as wallpaper every time I went for a service call. The next morning, you would have thought these people had found pictures of their wives naked on a newsgroup. They were seriously pissed at me for forcing the use of a default background and display setting. Wait until I take away their options for a screensaver.
