Let XP spend 468 minutes “Installing” and “Setting Up” your computer. 16. Let XP restart 17. Enjoy your desktop while you can… 18.

Realize your windows CD is illegal, then call Microsoft and have them activate your computer. 21. Enjoy your computer… wait 2 months, then repeat steps 1-21. It should be noted that the majority of the above steps can be removed simply by applying intelligent discretion. Please follow the proceding steps: 1.)When choosing parts for your Pc, be sure to purchase to-date parts that do not conflict with eachother. 2.) Once you load Windows, you may log in to your account. (This should take approximitly 34 seconds, assuming you've done your research and purchased a mid-range computer for the proper price.) 3.) While logging into your computer, you should take about 4-8 seconds to wait for your virus/ad-ware protection, favorite startup programs, and compatibility background programs to load. 4.) Once you've done that, you can enjoy nearly flawless compatibility between internet/removable harddrives/portable data devices, and infinite access to the vast majority of useful and recreational applications only available to Windows users. 5.) While enjoying your new Pc, you may want to stray from regularly downloading massive amounts of porn from every site you find yourself on. If this is something you cannot avoid, you may find comfort getting your Mac on with a Mac. Share this post Link to post
