The (Semi-)Official Oldbushie Thread

You could always mess with the heads of the people who check the books...

Actually, that would mean I'd be messing with my own head, but then again, aren't I already doing that by posting on this forum?

[Oldbushie]

Heheh, I dunno, your head still seems intact to me!

Ofcourse, it'd be the inside that'd be messed up.

My *computer* was messed up for a while... apparently when I was trying to fix it (monitor was going strange on me), I connected a wire to the wrong spot but thankfully there wasn't a short.

Oh, and I just saw Bourne Supremacy! Awesome movie!

Aren't those color-coded?

I know mine are...but if a guy is color-blind (which I have no clue if Aaron is or not), then I'm sure that causes some trouble.

There are lots of colors on the back of my new(er) pc too, and yet I still managed to misplace the speaker-wire. And no, I'm not colorblind, but the scheme (?) as to where to put that one line on my monitor was a bit unclear.
Normally, I don't need those colors. You see, my old(er) pc has none, so I know exactly where to put all the wires (unless there's six of them all packed together obviously).

[Oldbushie]

Well, the wires themselves were clearly labeled, but I failed to look at the diagram in the manual. Thank goodness for short protection!

[koko_99_2001]

lol...I don't even look at the manual! Moving back and forth to the dorm (including taking the computer home for Christmas break) has had me put my computer together and take it apart probably 6-8 times.  All I do is take one wire at a time and match colors.  I may not be able to tell you everything a computer can do, but I can sure set one up

Why would you have to look in the manual if the wires are clearly labeled?
My MB-manual came in rather handy when fiddling with the HD-connectors though.

[Oldbushie]

While the wires are labeled... the board itself in that area is not. Mostly it was just a bunch of pins with no writing next to them.

Are you talking about a MB, or does your pc have another board with pins on them that's not the MB?
I think they have colour-coded MB's now too, although mine's probably too professional for that sort of stuff.

[Oldbushie]

It's a motherboard with built-in sound, and there was no color coding on the part where the wires were to be plugged in. It's set up kinda strange.

Mine has a built in sound-chip too, but I must confess all wires to the MB were already plugged in when I got the computer. Since I didn't need to change the sound in any way, I didn't look at the way sound was plugged in when I was fiddling with the HD connectors. With my one-track mind and all...

[Jeysie]

Pssst, Bushie. Take a side foray over to your birthday thread, too!

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Oldbushie]

I 'd the birthday thread!

Oh, and I'm finally getting a new monitor! My old one was getting a bit defective.

[Oldbushie]

Wow, this thread is dusty.

[Oldbushie]

I'm resurrecting my thread because I reached Groupie status!

Oh, and ignore the previous posts about Jen, we're not together anymore.
