child computer habits?

[diamondISO]

i remember when i was abiut 10 i used to carry a floppy disk around. whenever i had some free computer time i'd pop it in and have so much fun. bookmark sites and download files. all for later enjoyment. but one horrible day, the latch covering the magnetic tape broke. from that day, i learned a valuable lesson...USE CD'S YOU CAN CRAM LIKE 700 MEGS ON THOSE THINGS. please post a childish computer habit you once had or if you saw someone with one, post it.

I used to download roms and emulators from school and use this file splitter to get it into many parts. I then put each part onto a floppy and rejoined it at home. I could get SNES games at home that way (since I didn't have internet at home).

I was the school's unnoficial game pirate, lol. I used to be uncool, but even some of the "bad boys" respected me when I could hook them up with Super Mario Kart ;)

This behaviour also caught the eyes of a few other pupils in my year who were into retro games. I showed them how to use emulators and all that and we became great friends and would play RPGs alongside each other. I guess I am lucky my form room was also the 6th form (college) computer room :D Our break times were spent on Gradius, FF's, Lufia, Seiken Densetsu. We even waited for the release of the translation patch for Bahamut Lagoon, whiling away the days of waiting with other games. In the end, my form tutor (who was also the head of Computing) gave up trying to stop us. He had told us off MANY times before but we weren't ones to learn from our "mistakes". Well.. except how to hide the files better ;)

I guess my habit was being THE videogame pirate at my school, and introducing - as well as supplying - the files to my year :)

You can only write to them once in a process called burning, and after that, they are read-only. Some of them are rewritable, but the one I had, had less disk space. I have a USB disk with 982 MB of capacity, which is more than a CD can hold, and it's rewritable. If you want something with a lot of disk space, you might want to get one of those.

A childish computer habit. Let's think...I ****ed this PC I have up two times in a row, screwing up the OS, and my Dad was ****ed. I've also ****ed up video game emulators, hacked executable files, software bypass methods, and I just generally seem to be the user on this site who has to **** everything up. :D Excuse my language, but justice must be served....

Uh, childish computer habits? As far as I know, I am a child. I don't feel like a soon-to-be 14.

USB disks are awesome. I'm satisfied with my 256 mb creative mp3-player.

one time i had this virus that fills your hard drive with 999,999,999 files and repeats the process. i downloaded it becasuse some net hackers were starting to **** me off and...let's just say that setup file i sent them wasn't all it seemed. that was a habit for me. downloading viruses and sending them off tied in ribbon to unsuspecting jackasses.

[diamondISO]

i don't have it anymore. when i did a system restore, it got deleted. and the booter site i got it from needs to get their server running again. but i do have another one... not sure what it does but it has a setup icon and a data file. so it looks like it's meant to setup some program on your computer, until....

if you have yahoo messenger, Im me at: fullmetal.diamond i'll send you that virus no prob.

The computer expert said that it was called "The blue death" seriously. IDK what's that supposed to mean, but I was doing some "experiments" Lol. We had to buy a new HDD.

When I was kinda new to PC's I didn't shut them down properly, I just pushed the power button on the back of it, can't be good for Ur OS to constantly get closed like that, may be bad for Ur PC itself as well :p ....

[Rivaan]

Ooh not good. I know of people who switch their PS2s off wrong, like that. They flick the switch at the back of the PS2 to cut off the power, instead of holding the reset/on button to switch it off properly and THEN hitting the back switch.
