So, I'm talking to my dad, Dr. Funk, about my mom's computer problems,and he eventually tells me that his computer at work is having email problems. The computer guy came in and now he can recieve email, but he can't send it. Also, his 'Real Player' quit working. The computer guy said it was a trial version and uninstalled it. Dad installed it again after he left. Then he drops the bomb, "You know Will, I have about 30 CDs on my work computer . . ." I started laughing and couldn't stop. "It's slowed down a lot. . ."
I can assure you they are all wave files because the good doctor has no idea what he's doing. He's going to crash his work computer. People will die because he wants 30 different recordings of "Greensleeves." I'm seriously considering buying him a 4 gig ipod. He's gone and learnt enough to be dangerous. We must stop him before he is a threat to other.
That is all,

your dad has the best one liners, from
"It's getting a bit hectic round here" to now "it's slowed down alot" he cracks me up for such a quiet guy.
Dude, this may be the funniest thing I have read in a while. Cheers to Dr, Funk for embracing technology My dad bitches about the computer speed at home because my sisters have a lot of music on it. Of course this is the same man that unofficially named me Damnit xxxx every baseball season between the ages of 9 and 14.
How much can a bunch of music slow down your computer? Unless you're overflowing a lot into virtual memory, or your drive is just fragmented to all hell, what you have saved shouldn't really matter. Of course if you run huge playlists, or huge .wav files instead of MP3 that could slow you down as you use it.
My best advice goes along with what I was telling Will earlier. Figure out which programs preload when you open Windows, and tell them not to.
