Heh. Just be glad you don't have any of those chocolate floppy disks hanging around - it gets hot inside computers . . .

I've been lucky so far, I just have a multitude of Tigger stickers all over my monitor. (And no, I didn't put them there!)

Frogboy - Why must toddlers constantly open up and put..things...into the CD ROM drives of computers?

this is what comes of not using the cd-rom drives properly.

if you used them as cup holders (which is surely their proper function), then everything would just go into the cup. much easier, just so long as you didnt intend to drink that coffie

its a white fluid, often in a small pot with a brush.

you use it to paint over incorrect words on paper, and then when it has dried, you write over the top, putting down the correct version.

personally i think it is a waste of time, since my words are just fine as i write them

-Known here in the states as Whiteout.

I discovered our Sega stuffed with Fruit-Loops once. Never did get them all out. "...but Daddy, it said it was hungry!"

I had to tape a piece of cardboard over the power and reset buttons after many 'unexpected' reboots.
