After being unceremoniously forced into retirement from the mental hospital I decided to take up yet another hobby. I contemplated setting up a meth lab but Nancy nixed that idea, she had heard the odor was awful and thought the T-fal would get ruined. In that I've always had a facination with electricity and shiny objects I decided to buy a cheap Dell computer. Well that opened up a box of Pandora's worms and, as is my wont, I went overboard with these gadgets which culminated in building The Lanfire Project. She's a state of the art gaming/video editing beast with all kinds of flashy LEDs, cathode ray tubes and annoying alarms. Nancy has blamed the dog's seizure disorder on this machine but I have my doubts. Any how, every few months I tear into the Lanfire Project and give her a thorough cleaning. This time around I'm upgrading the DVD burner and switching the interior illumination color scheme. I hope to have her back on line in a day or two. When was the last time you cleaned out the dust bunnies in your box?

The Lanfire Project

My name is Bill Gates, and after reviewing your progress on this PC I would like to offer you a job. Have you been officially released from the mental hospital yet?
Thanks for the offer, I'd be honored to work for Microsoft and design buggy products. However, I'd have to hack into my ankle bracelet and reprogram it so I can safely leave the house. Sexual predator my ass!
I am the cat with the exciting life, I'd like to meet your dog someday.

Is this Fred's PC? You know, the one you planted bad capacitors in so he would have an excuse to buy a new one?
I wouldn't let a Dell, Gateway or HP get within 20 feet of my custom box. What do you expect when you have a $5 motherboard made in Bangkok as the heart of the system?
Nevertheless, FW needs no excuse to buy new stuff.
