He's just trying to gain your confidence. You'll be surfing the net, all tra-la-la, and you'll let your guard down. You'll get whacked over the head with a keyboard, and suddenly your printer is making you its bitch.
Mark my words. They will assimilate us all.

I'm my printer's bitch. It's all very sad.
The Vista release of Windows offers an upgrade to that feature: "After writing such a depressing and self-indulgent blog post, only a pathetic, whiney asshole would press 'Publish'".
Al, i think i have that program. oh wait... i just checked, mine features this prompt: "after writing such a pathetic and uninspired post, only a nitwit and/or baglady would press "publish"".
my mistake.
Well you know, it would be more than some husbands do...

Angela - A printer is a harsh mistress.
Al - I've seen that. The caption on the dialog box says "Confirm Assholeness?" and you can click Yes, No, or Give Me a Small Jolt of Electricity.
Neva - That's Win XP. You need to upgrade to be called an asshole.
Cindra - Hang on, I gotta close the door. My wife is sobbing again and it's distracting me.
qvaukt - To be inexorably doomed to an ignoble fate. Usage: "Oh man, we are qvaukt!"
As always, Windows falls very short of being helpful. The Mac's features in this regard are so much better.
It says:
You seem a little blue today. Would you like to order a copy of Final Exit: An Aesthetic Guide to Suicide?
Or at least that's what I reprogrammed to be pushed to all macs in our organization. No one has yet noticed that the suicide rate amongst mac users is up 156% this year.

Wolfe - That may have more to do with the subliminal messages from Steve Jobs that are pumped through all iPods.
