Author Topic: Building a Windows Computer = Signing a Pact with Satan  (Read 1677 times)

So I finally confronted my father and told him that I built a computer meant to run Windows. He laughed and then flipped his stuff when I realized I was serious. Afterwards he told me that I'm going to need an "oscillator" and some "licers". He told me that any hardware you find online is shoddily made by idiots in a tent, and then boasted that Apple hardware was superior. (probably because it's shiny and costs more money than what I spent mine on.)

Even right now I can hear him whining about it to my mother. I think I heard him say that I could have bought a used computer for $200, as if that would be anywhere nearly as powerful as my setup at the moment. I'm not sure if he can grasp the thought of anti-virus software. Here I thought we could have finally bonded after knowing that I'm a lot more fluent in technology...

He's an "engineer" for Apple and treats it like a religion. I think it's time to disown him.

Implement a system into your computer that turns it into a Windows-logo-shaped car and then we'll see who will be the one whom has the laugh that is final! :D

Lol your dad is one of the extremist apple fans.

How badly did he cry and contemplate Self Delete when Jobs died?

Well I'm pretty sure with an SSD and HDD working in tandem along with my awesome GPU, my computer has already Annoying Orangeed whatever he's ever spent his money on.

He's starting to be kind of scary. I hope he doesn't try to burn my computer or anything.

Anyway this is kind of depressing. I can't have a dad because I like to run a different OS. Pathetic.

Good point.

A car with a computer in it is overkill enough, no need to get all Transformers-ey.  :cookieMonster:


Moreover, though, made by idiots in a tent? How do people who live in tents have the materials and tools to make computer parts? :(

I GUESS I SHOULDN'T HAVE BUILT A PC

SINCE PC MEANS "COMPUTER THAT RUNS WINDOWS" AND NOT "PERSONAL COMPUTER"

It just occurred to me:

He's making a big deal out of what operating system the computer you're building will use.


I don't get why that's really that big a deal.

He's upset that he's calamari.

My dad believes in nothing fun in this day and age.  He thinks guys still go to operas to pick up chicks.



I have no father.

Tell him that you like it because it's your opinion, and that you'd rather not have his opinion forced upon you

He's upset that he's calamari.
you're a pair of foot garments though  :cookieMonster:
