(Year: 79 CE) Don't shut down the server. If you do, the Hard Disk will be corrupted.
(Year 2009 CE) Look, we found this ancient compter still running in Pompei. Since it was burried in an ash flow, we have a hard date on how long it has been running.

Those Dinosaurs really knew how to make a computer that lasts almost forever.

The latest release of Micro-Rock Window-Sills is reported to be the most stable yet. Users are said to be prevented from downloading viruses onto their Petrified-Computers by the fact that one cannot actually type any commands into the keyboards, and the mouse's "ears" prevent most users from being able to press the mouse's buttons.

1) If you think the fans on today's computers are loud, you should'a listened to 'em when they were made o' rock...

2) New evidence found that IBM 1401's had CRT terminals...

expanding their product line. The Flinstones Computer so simple a caveman can run it. Solidly built for theft deterence. the solid construction prevents user damage due to BSOD.

Well that’s 10. Let see who wins.

Skilldude, you almost had it. New tag line if Geico started making computers “So simple a cave man can use it.” But “expanding their product line. The Flinstones Computer so simple a caveman can run it. Solidly built for theft deterence. the solid construction prevents user damage due to BSOD.” Was just a little too drawn out to win.

Gary Charpentier: Bravo, “Dynobyte ][“ That really got me.

Mr. Roberts I really liked your “To restart your computer, sacrifice a goat and then press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.” That’s almost as good as “to turn off your computer press start…” Very fitting.

Steve gets an honorable mention for “The debut of Bill's new "Rock-Solid" OS.”

Well no more ramblings.

The winner is:

Your turn Blurf. Oh and I need to pass on a request that you start a new thread and add to the directions a suggestion that the winner be sent a pm to let them know. So take it away Blurfmeister.
