Well I am confused
when I write an email at work, I get told that I wrote a "Book" and must be related to Stephen King (yeah he's my Brother, my Uncle is Don King, but not those famous guys, ah forget it. An ancester of mine signed some important paper a long time back and helped start this whole mess. Some guy named Rufus King, who I was almost named after.) Well anyway I am told to keep it short, anything over a page will not be read and will be deleted. Frell! I've written SQL Queries longer than that! So "VERBOSE OFF" in Infocom speak, and only use the smallest amount of detail. I forgot to use "VERBOSE ON" when posting on ZIwe. ;)

Warning! You have not backed up this Human brain for over 20 years, you have not run Fskchk in 20 years. There appears to be invalid or missing files. Either repair or reformat. Reformatting may result in coming back as a different person or lifeform. Elvis was reformatted as your son, which is now your replacement as "God and son" stopped making your brand of human brain in 1983. Please insert shotgun into mouth and pull trig^C
Aborted, are you sure? YES
Reformatting aborted, but your Human Brain may not be functioning properly. Mutation level 4 now in progress to try and repair. Repair failed. Now Human Mutant Level 3.196A, class "Computer Geek". Suffered a loss in social skills and relationships with other Human Beings. Results, your friends now hate you, and you are stressed out from it.
