so i bought this laptop with wifi so i could go online
it came without much written (paper) instructions, so i could not rehearse the startup/setup
i blew something on setup of its secrutiy
but it let me in okay as long as i cancelled the security screen (stoopid enuf)
but then i clicked "okay" instead of cancel
and i couldnt get on the net anymore
computer company tells me to uninstall the entire security program
which i did, with no need to use a password, and with no dire consequences

so: lets use a great lock - like a Medeco on a gate made from balsa!

its not getting any smarter out there, you have to learn to take hold of stupidity and make it work for you

I'm on the path to becomming a Punk Rocker, without all the piercings sticking out of my face. You'll see an unsuprizing picture of me, in a few months, mates. I need to lose a little weight, first.

Magnus had the intention of destroying the errant sorcerer, for despite the Chief Librarian's considerable powers he could not match the Primarch. The fallen Primarch's fury knew no bounds. As he raised his fist to deliver the single killing blow, a distant and sibilant voice reverberated with the knowledge of thousands and the machinations of something altogether beyond his understanding; "Magnus ... You would destroy my pawns too readily."

Realising the Architect of Fate, Tzeentch itself, had orchestrated the entire event, Magnus spared Ahriman, realising there were yet still things beyond even his elevated understanding. The Thousand Sons' Chief Librarian was banished on an eternal quest for perfect understanding -- leading him to take up such dangerous and enticing quests as the hunt for the Eldar Black Library.
