Summer's over : :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: : a text phile by : : : : -ICEoLatEor__ : :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: We'll steal your dreams, control your mind, persecute the fools left behind... -- Frontline Assembly Ah well, it's near the end of yet another summer in the vast chain of them, yet this one is seemingly embedded in my mind for a reason not yet fully apperrent to me. The light fragrant air of the summertime blis plays through my soul, my existance with unabounded clarity and strenght. Yet all is not fullfilled, all is not complete in my experience. That is what landed me at the Emeryville Circut City and that is what lead me to the racks of your typical Packard Bell-only-brand piece of shit 8088 computers with one 160k floppy and a 5 meg HD (if any). I suddenly felt the extreme urge to fling myself upon these unspeakably horrible piece of shit computers, yet I held myself back, opting for a more clever way of phucking them over, which brings me into the main reason I wrote this phile in the first place -- How to have fun crashing/fucking over those throwaway store display PC's. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: (Disclaimer) This text file is ment for informational purposes only, the author does not promote the willful destruction of computer property in any way, and the author does not take any responsibility for any action of that type taking place as a result of this phile. So there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, the computer you're targeting in a store is probably running a promotional demo or shell. Just follow the cues and exit to dos.. ..it's real easy. Then, once you're in dos, there's plenty you can do, only confined by your imagination and dos expertise. Of course you could just format the HD or do a DEL *.* thingie, but that's real obvious, lame, and not recommended if near store personnel. And anywayz, that's taking things a bit too far than they should, and could get yourself in mondo trouble. But that's for you to decide. Even as effective but not destructive is just making a simple batch file like this: c:\>Copy con fuck.bat ctty nul cls ^Z (control Z) then executing it by typing fuck and leaving. That completely disables the keyboard and clears the screen, not allowing anyone to do anything except reset the computer. Another trick that isn't quite as effective but even more fun is playing around with the prompt. It dosent hafta say "C:\> or C>" it can say what ever you want. Just type in "prompt error 12 in line 12878" at the prompt and watch the fun as people keep hitting return and that message is displayed over and over. Even better is aletering the autoexec.bat file so it changes the prompt to someting like "this computer is one piece of shit" upon every reboot. Or put the two ideas above together to create a batch file that displays the error message and disables the keyboard. The stupid fucks working at the store and the stupidfucks looking at the computer won't know what the hell is going on whatever you do, so they'll think something is really wrong. So when you're ever in a departmen/electronics store and have nothing better to do, remember these helpful tips and use your imagination to think up of better ones yourself. Have much fun in your endeavors an may the force be with you always....... iceolateor (c)1991 Yo Mama productions special thanx to Knave of Tinmen and everyone at Junk Culture... you've got some cool people and one helluva board, and to other cool boards like Silver Tower Skeleton Crue and Stigmata BBS who helped me get started in the bbs world. anyone going to see 242 on oct. 4th ?
