OH, the humanity!

My favourite Appleism was when working with my BIL (a now reformed, but then Apple nut). His hard disk became full and he asked for my help:
Delete some files: Operation failed - disk full
Move some files to floppy disk (yes, it was a while back): Operation failed - disk full
Let's try editing a file to reduce its size: You guessed!

I told him "You have a very effective door stop there!"
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
