Social \ When I was a n00b

I was just thinking of some funny shite I did when I was a n00bie.

My very first PC was a 486 with 16 meg of RAM (my mates were really jealous, they only had about 4meg) and had an outrageous 800meg Hard Drive, which was also considered HUGE back then

Anyway, the HDD was getting a bit full, so I went into File-manager looking for stuff I didn't need/use to delete.

So, here I am, deleting away, and after a while I came across this File Folder called 'Windows' which was about 140megs, and I thought 'Hmmm, I dont need this, I may as well delete it'.

So a message comes up, 'Are you sure you want to delete this folder, and all its content' I would click yes, then it would come up 'Are you really sure you wish to delete this folder and all its contents?' yes, I would click again, then 'Are you REALLY sure that you are sure that you want to delete folder and all its content?', yes for gods sake, delete the bloody folder. 'Are you sure'? . . . YES ^&*% DELETE IT!!!!!

Well, it wasnt until I re-booted the computer that I realised what I did, as the good old blue screen came up (which happened often back then anyway). hhmmm LOL

Another one was when I was on the net for the first time, and I didnt know what a bookmark was, or how to copy and paste. So, when I came across a cool site, I would write the URL on paper, then type each and every character when I wanted to visit it.

Well, this is ok when it is something like www.mypsp.com/forum But it wasn't cool when it was something like: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/i-Pod-Nano-1GB-2GB-4GB-iPod-mini-UFO-Dock-Sp1QQc%^%^$**&^!22454ffxtc^&*&^65mdZViewItem7878.htm

Seriously, I would sit there and write each and every character into a notepad, then type each of them in when I wanted to visit the site later in the week. LOL . . . OMFG, what a n00b

What is your most n00biest moment?

The 486 motherboard (just prior to the Pentium) with 100hz CPU, Tower, Soundcard, 14' SVGA Monitor, 800meg Maxtor HDD, CD Rom and 16meg of RAM set me back over $1200 and that was when $1200 was worth $1200, a shite load of money compared to today standards.

I've never been a n00b at computers myself. Ever.
Although, my brother was a bit of one. I was kicking his ass at scorched earth, and he kept yelling that I was cheating, and turned around and punched a window, which smashed it.

And I so wasn't cheating... If he couldn't compete with my awesome skills, he shouldn't have played. You can't cheat on scorched earth anyway. You can on monopoly. God I love monopoly.
