    Awesome! Where do I sign up? I always wanted a boombox that was capable of compiling code AND playing my MP3'S :D

    This thing runs Windows 98 with a scan of the original boombox' front panel as background image.

    This is truly ghetto...

      Since the mistake was made going Windows, that's about the best you can get without having more power.

    The funderator has too few wires connected to the plasma petulicator, and the quazimemotron could never generate enough jouls of gudzja through 30 gauge copper. But it's a good concept!

    It would help if the 'tasty mirror' wasn't running on an 386 over 256k DSL line.

    I love these project computers we see, but my reaction is often to think that the owner could never go out with the PC as it would be an instant theft item

    Ha!
    If he was a real geek he'd never go out anyway!

  10. Why Dual Boot? by R.Caley · · Score: 2, Funny
    The true boombox feel would be to run the OS from bootable CDs. You can walk down the street with the box and a case of music and OS CDs, and when you hang about on the corner with your mates have conversations like:
    Seen that new XP CD?
    Yea, got it here
    [click] [clunk] [whirrrr]
    Oh, that's crap manufactured stuff, here, stick this in, it's a bootleg HURD CD from an unadvertised release in a small club in Cambridge...

    Who the hell came up with the name? Meatwad? On the otherhand, he does got the money, see, so he can afford a tablet pc. Rumor has it the original version was made from an empty box of Cheerios and a strawberry until Frylock intervened. I don't have any proof of this because Shake ruined my proof with his anger.
