BOFH: Frying the PFY - Episode 15
By Simon Travaglia

This is a beauty!

 

[The JoJo]

:mrgrn:

GREAT STUFF!

(sorry for shouting !

I seem to be browsing through the register every day lately, in anticipation for a new story.

 

[ddrueding]

Bloody brilliant

 

[The JoJo]

Bartender, a round on me.

Now where's that movies thread...

 

[Will Rickards WT]

I've been reading BOFH for years. Funny stuff.

 

[GMac]

I owe whoever it was that introduced me to the BOFH at this fine site a beer - it's become a 'must read' for me :lol:

[Buck]

Another good episode.

“So if he pushed a desktop machine off the balcony, you’d be concerned?” the PFY asks.

“It’s not a recognized or commonplace use of a computer.”

“It is if it’s got OS2 installed on it!” I respond, confusing the Boss and alienating another batch of OS2-loving readers. On purpose.

 

[The JoJo]

Let's not show that to Tony....

 

[Tea]

He already saw it. :mrgrn:

 

[ddrueding]

I thought of Tony when I read that, very funny indeed.

 

[Tea]

Frying the PFY was the funniest one in ages.

I mostly prefer the Inq to the Reg (when I get time to read either, which isn't often), but on a bad day BOFH is still pretty good, and on a good day it's great.

 

[The JoJo]

Heads up:

Excellent! :mrgrn:

[GMac]

If you thought #25 was good, have a look at #26 PULL UP, PULL UP....:lol:

GM

 

[Bartender]

Senses a disturbance in the force...

 

[The JoJo]

Marvellous work of art

...annoying the two OS2-loving readers.

Tony is one, but who's the other????


This might as well apply here:
"What IS it with this place?"

For all you lazy people, like me:

(It's always reassuring to note that when a company merges with a company that in turn merged with the original hardware manufacturer, they still manage to incorporate the worst design features from the original product.)

LOL

"The best way to encourage uptake in wireless networking at your workplace would be posters"
