Melissa's Adventures: Paint at the movies?!

Digg - ATM runs Windows (and gets PWN'd!)

I found this through Digg and got a good laugh out of it. Thought I'd throw it up here since not everyone may come across it.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Good for a cheap laugh.

What would be great is watching non-Internet types trying to figure out what "PWNED" means.

Heh. We were hanging around on the office building parking lot of the local waterworks, waiting for the rest of the band one day.

They have (had) this flatscreen interactive demo thing hanging in a shop window out by the lot, with one of those twelve-button keypad like things set into the window where you could use the keys to move the mouse around, and another to click.

Somebody goes, "Hey, try Ctrl-Alt-Del!", and just for the hell of it, I press the bottom left and right keys, as well as the top right key, and hey presto! - the demo app quits, leaving us with the Windows NT desktop/taskbar.

We proceed to spend the next ten minutes figuring out that the PC comes with the Yamaha XG sound card player, which in turn comes with a bunch of hideous demo tunes. We find the most hideous one, turn the PC's volume up to max, and run it on auto-loop, before leaving.

Couple days later, they've switched off the demo machine. Haven't seen it on, since.

Woulda been funnier if she'd did a MS Paint ATM interface. A number pad that looks like a 4-year-old finger painted.
