what an idiots..

IMHO there is no such thing as stupid people. Or intelligent people for that matter.

What I am trying to say is it is the action not the person which would be lacking intelligence.

Just stupid moments, and intelligent moments. We all have both.

However I don't think this is anywhere near as stupid as is cool. I myself have wallpapered two rooms of my house with dead 3"1/4 floppies. Photos coming to the images section soon...

Anthropomorphically speaking, of course.

[anakirob]

an·thro·po·mor·phism  (nthr-p-môrfzm)
n.
Attribution of human motivation, characteristics, or behavior to inanimate objects, animals, or natural phenomena.

I think it actually the antonym of Anthropomorphic we are dealing with (Whatever word that may be).

I seem to be attributing natural phenomena to human motivation rather than the other way 'round.

But of course I could just be having a stupid moment :-P

What a great idea!  Did you use all one colour, just mix them up or use different colour disks to produce a pattern?

I`d be very happy to use a SCSI drive with my CS-PPC SCSI controller.  Please PM me when you got it :-).

i was part way through rescuing a stack of 9 and 18Gb drives about 6 months ago but my hardware cupboard got relocated and had an incident involving gravity and a flight of stairs during an office move, and the contents written off before i could recover them (sounds like a BOFH episode), but i'm currently building a pile of 36Gb drives (got about 10 so far) that i'll wipe and check for defects when i get the time before offering them in here.
the 72 gigers i'm keeping... :-D

That's the anthropomorficaly part since moments and actions don't inherently have intelligence to begin with. In a stupid moment, it's the people being stupid for a moment, not the moment being stupid for a people... or something like that. :crazy:
