Re: windows95 sucks

2000-02-06 Thread Dean Ridgway

Greetings Rob,

Anyone heard (or want) the mp3 titled 'Windows95 sucks', a parody sung
to the tune of 'You make a grown man cry'.  It's about 2MB.

Is this the one that goes something like:

I bought it up, took it home and tried to boot it up,
but it crashed me up and told me my memory was not enough.
Windows 95 ... It's sucking up my drive

I heard this a year or so ago and thought it was incredibly funny.

Or is this a different one?

Dean,

I know about this one. I downloaded a WAV of it from www.TwistedTunes.com (this is
a real time waster, but a high speed Internet connection is very beneficial here)
about 2+ years ago. I think Rob might have another one?

I got the lyrics: (parody of the Rolling Stones "Start Me Up")

Bought It Up

   Well I bought it up.
   Brought Windows home and tried to boot it up.
   But when I load it up,
   It says my memory is not enough.

   I'll be runnin' out.
   I need some extra RAM to fix me up.
   I have to cough it up.
   Open my wallet up it never stops,
   Never stops, never stops, never stops.

   This Windows 95
   It's suckin' up my drive.
   It makes a Pentium fly.
   But my PC is obsolete;
   I'll have to buy myself a brand new machine.
   Ring it up.

   Stick me up.
   You suck me in and then you got me hooked.
   You got me, you got me.

   There's so much stuff to buy,
   I'd need a new hard drive.
   It's gonna suck me dry.
   My 386 don't have the speed.
   It takes an hour just to bring up the screen.

   Oh, no! I'm makin' software buys.
   Whoa! It's makin' Bill Gates come.
   You, you, you make a rich man come.

 Hi -- do we have some sort of club funds to finance little things like
that? - I don't think those members who are most active should also carry
most odf the costs.  Unless there is a system (that im not aware of), we
could start a donation box at our meetings ... like the 'Carma Jar' at the
Espresso place  Horst.

Lately, I've only been spending a few hours a month updating the
meetings and such.  So if it's only maintenance that's being done, it's
not much time at all.  If someone were to do a redesign, or even
re-organize what's there, then a little more time would be needed.  It
depends on who wants to do what.
