Whats the craziest thing you've ever convinced your friends about computers.

I once convinced my friend he needed a carbureator for his computer, so he could get NOS and overclock it. Google proved me wrong though.

The Prince of Nigeria actually did die and wants to give you 100,000,000. He contacts everyone through email to find the most trusting person to leave his money to. So far he has not found anyone, thus his fortune remains.

I convinced a friend that she and I could talk to one another over computers with internet connections any time we wanted, for free, and without using our phones.

It sounded crazy to her at the time, but technology is wonderful that way. :)

A long time ago when punch cards still existed, we also had a green screen timesharing terminal. One of our brand new programmers encountered some trouble with it so I told him the bit bucket was full and needed to be emptied.


It took him 20 minutes to figure it out.
