"What Your Computer Is Trying To Tell You"
It says: "Press Any Key"
It means: "Press any key you like but I'm not
moving." Or "Oh no, not that one!!"
It says: "Press A Key"
(This one's a programmers joke. Nothing happens
unless you press the "A" key.)
It says: "Fatal Error. Please contact technical support
quoting error no. 1A4-2546512430E"
It means: "... where you will be kept on hold for 10
minutes, only to be told that it's a hardware problem."
It says: "Installing program to C:\<Directory>...."
It means: "... And I'll also be writing a few files into
c:\windows and c:\windows\system where you'll
NEVER find them."
It says: "Please insert disk 11"
It means: "Because I know darn well there are
only 10 disks."
It says: "Not enough memory"
It means: "I don't CARE if you've got 256MB of RAM,
I want to use the bit below 640K."
It says: "Cannot read from drive D:...."
It means: "... However, if you put the CD in right
side up..."
It says: "Please Wait...."
It means: "... Indefinitely."
It says: "Directory does not exist...."
It means: ".... any more. Whoops."
It says: "The application caused an error. Choose
Ignore or Close."
It means: "....Makes no difference to me, you're
still not getting your work back."
