and when you're bored with all your DOS games you can write an assembly program to melt your processor...yeah...good times

Ah, my trademark line:

"Is that even copulate possible!?"

I know assembly is powerfull and all, but could you seriously melt/fry your processor?

sure, it might take a while, but you could do an endless loop of switching all your registers from all 0's to all 1's and back and forth...the processor would get very very (very) hot

Ha, what if you had one of those 386s where the processor is soldered directly to the mobo? Maybe you could desolder the processor! :lol:

Thought I'd share the new lappy I recently got...

It's not too funny looking. Lithium-Ion battery plus a charger, external mouse (great :roll: ), 9.5" LCD screen, Floppy Disk Drive, 640K RAM (with an unknow expansion), **gb HD, and a VERY unhelpful BIOS...plus the 'e' and 'm' keys are a little stiff...
Hoping to fill this sucker with the entire Space Quest series plus the MS FunPack I still have...
