No kidding! There’s at least one Doper in the Chapel Hill / Carrboro area (well sort of, he’s a friend of mine IRL who has only posted about four times). When are you leaving, and would you be interested in meeting us for a mini-Dopefest before you go?
When you disable a piece of hardware in Windows 2000, a helpful box comes up saying:
So it’ll stop functioning if I disable it? Really?
It’s now somehow surprising that the opposite doesn’t happen when you install a new piece of hardware, e.g.
‘Installing this soundcard will make it possible for you to hear sounds. Do you really want to install it?’
