What happen to your PC to disable it in that way? Malware or a hardware problem?

My Toshiba laptop hates me too, but my eMachine desktop still runs beautifully.

I think the newest iMac might work. But if it's games you want, for that money, you're better off getting a decent PC.

You could try waiting until the Intel Macs come out. Then you might be able to dual boot OS X for multimedia, and Windows for games.

I've never seen an owl (or any bird) with buck teeth!

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

It's because they're very rare.

Seriously, I do not think this thread has a reason to exist. If it was just a rant, wouldn't the OP come back and say he's calmed down now and fill us in? If it's a troll, it hasn't worked except to get some really funny owl pictures online.

Shrug.

I'd buy a 17" imac and get a console for playing games on. You'll be happy all round - assuming your house/room has more than one power socket (and a tv to display the games console on)!

Never really understood this one box must do everything mind set - am I missing something?

Just because someone ALSO uses it on Fark, doesn't mean it originated there.

I believe I have seen the "Oh Rlly" image before Fark used it.

Fark is no different than any other "forum" most people pull things from other smaller forums and then it gets on Fark.

So Fark is actually one of the "last" places it hits.

It just gets so popular there people thinks it originates from there.
