Give the guy a break, it's probably still his first day! To accomplish all of that, he probably walked in the door a month ago and since then he hasn't seen the light of day, walked outside, slept, or even eaten. It's a cry for help, don't mock the poor guy! Somebody, get this man a pizza and some ambien!

Back in college when we moved into our apartments, it was unusually cold for September in Michigan and they hadn't switched over from the A/C in the building yet. We closed the door in our bedroom and plugged in a couple PC's. Kept it pretty warm. It also reminds me of living at my parents house. I had to keep my door open because if I closed it, the room would heat up pretty good regardless of the time of year.

I totally had a chat program back in high school. Only a few problems...

1. You had to be tethered by that link cable you used to transfer programs.
2. You had to type in what you were sending your buddy, then tell them to hit the button to pull the data from your calculator
3. Then they could type a reply, and you would have to hit the button.
4. If you hit the button before they typed something in, the program crashed.....
