Operating System Install ... Boring ... How to pass the time ...

OK so we are installing operating systems on the hardware that we have. Its a dead boring but obviously critical activity. You cant leave the machine to install on its own cause you have to press the 'next' button and you cant ask your little sister to do it cause she would either one, make a mistake or two ask for a significant amount of funds to do it, so like everything else in this world its better that you do it yourself. So how do you install the operating system without falling asleep ? There are a multitude of ways to do this so let me list them ...

Argue about politics ... never ending discussions about why we are getting ripped off by the government and why we are paying to much taxes and why we should over throw the government

Argue about why the operating system is taking so long to install.

Argue about why the IBM x340's are not working and why swapping disks around and attempting to solder a larger capacitor on the scsi card is a waste of time

Argue about why t isnt a good idea to paint the roof white even though it might increase the brightness of the garage

Argue why beer *does* make you bloated and fat and the fact that beer doesnt make you bloated is BS

Argue about why my 1.1 litre mazda 121 *definetly* uses less fuel then the 3.6 litre holden commodore even though the driver of the holden commodore may be an *extremely* good driver and can see how much fuel is being used up depending on how hard the throttle is pushed

Argue about why using a particular ISP is crap and that why its better to go with another even after obvious figures

Play music and sing happily ...

So there you have it, a list of things to do whilst installing the operating system. All very productive things to do as you can see. Oh and the last point of 'Play music and sing happily' ... Here is a list of songs we play

- Stand by me - Ben . E . King
- Living on a prayer - Bon Jovi
- To late to apologize - One Nation
- Always - Bon Jovi
- Imagine - Beatles
- Sweet child of mine - Guns & Roses
- summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
- heaven - Bryan Adams
- wonderful tonight - Eric Clapton

And a whole list of other songs i cant remember right now ....
