207030 2004-01-12 23:35:00 lol! I like this bit:

As you probably know, Microsoft has a sort of love-hate relationship with the registry. The registry is the configuration database for Windows and Windows applications, and many options can only be set by manually changing a value in the registry. For example, if you’ve ever read a Microsoft Knowledge Base article, you’ve likely seen a sentence similar to this:

“To correct this problem, change the following value in the registry.”

Now that’s fine, except that this sentence is invariably followed by a disclaimer similar to this one:

Warning

Don’t ever change a value in the registry. Ever. We know we just told you to do that, but would you jump off a cliff if we told you to? Don’t ever change a value in the registry. Don’t even say the word registry. We know a guy once who said the word registry, and three days later he was hit by a bus. True story. As a matter of fact, you shouldn’t even have a registry on your computer. If you suspect that you do have a registry on your computer, please call us and a trained professional will be dispatched to your office to remove the registry immediately. If you accidentally touch the registry, wash your hands with soap and water and call a doctor. Do not swallow the registry or get it in your eyes

207033 2004-01-13 11:13:00 Microsoft Bob is fantastic. There are actually a HUGE amount of things from Bob which have slowly found their way back into Windows and other MS applications. -=JM=- (16)
