He<\/font> tried overclocking his toaster once too
\nShe asks:<\/font> did it work?
\nShe says:<\/font> i was amazed… for a two-slice toaster i can now toast an entire loaf in half the time.
\nHe says:<\/font> well, sorta
\nShe says:<\/font> all at once.
\nHe exclaims:<\/font> wow!
\nShe<\/font> nods.
\nShe says:<\/font> i was impressed with the improvement.
\nHe<\/font> wonders if your toaster had genuine Intel parts.
\nShe says:<\/font> yes. but it runs linux. =)
\nHis<\/font> ancient toaster runs DOS.
\nShe says:<\/font> ahh.
\nShe says:<\/font> you really should upgrade.
\nHe says:<\/font> whenever toast comes up burned it asks, “abort, retry, fail?”
\nShe<\/font> laughs.
\nHe<\/font> was thinking of getting a screensaver… y’know… the one where flying computers fly across your toaster case.
\nShe says:<\/font> that’d be really classy.
\nHe says:<\/font> there’s only so much you can do when your bus is only 2 slots wide though.
\nShe<\/font> nods.
\nHe asks:<\/font> what sorta peripherals do you have on yours?
\nShe says:<\/font> i hear those bagel toasters with the wider slots have better throughput.
\nHe<\/font> makes a note of that.
\nShe says:<\/font> well, the microwave is daisychained to it, so that my condiments are ready for application upon toasting completion.
\nHe says:<\/font> way cool.
\nShe<\/font> nods.
\nHe says:<\/font> i’m trying to decide whether it’s worth the few extra bucks to go for the true-color video card with 1600×1200 resolution, or just settle with 256 colors at 1024×768.
\nShe says:<\/font> i’m thinking of setting a crisco router to have all the toasters in the building running through mine.
\nHe exclaims:<\/font> a crisco 10-base-T port in your room! instant plug ‘n’ grease!
\nShe says:<\/font> when it comes to toast, you shouldn’t scrimp on resolution. the last thing you want is pale toast.
\nShe says:<\/font> actually, i was thinking of going 100-base-t.
\nHe says:<\/font> this is true. but then again, maybe i ought to spring for a DVD drive too. Games are getting so realistic these days.
\nHe says:<\/font> hayull. you tha man! so to speak.
\nShe says:<\/font> with a backbone of 1000-base-t.
\nShe says:<\/font> i mean, you can’t be waiting on toast ‘casue of network backlog. that’s just wrong.
\nHe says:<\/font> folks, this chick is a shortening bandwith monster. I mean *monster*.
\nShe<\/font> laughs.
\nShe<\/font> bows.
\nHe says:<\/font> think big, yeah, think big.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
