BUILT MY NEW SYSTEM & pluged it in 

 SO I SPENT A FEW DAYS TRYING TO NURSE IT BACK TO HEALTH. FED IT PLENTY OF WINDOWS AND IT GOT UPSET 
AND REGURGITATED EVERYTHING!  SO NEXT WAS A COUPLE OF ENEMA'S TO GET RID OF WINDOWS AND ANY OTHER BITS AND BYTES THAT MIGHT BE INFECTING IT'S INNARDS! 
 
THE RESULT: 

 THE PATIENT BECAME COMATOSE

and then without warning it started beeping and cackling 
  and IT  

 WOKE UP!!!! 

dangit dang it quack quack dang it quack dang it

 I FINALLY DECIDED THE PATIENT WAS BEYOND HELP 
IT WAS DOA AND DOING IT'S UTMOST TO SPREAD IT'S NASTY'S TO OTHER HEALTHY ORGANS 

EVEN THE MOUSE WAS SQUEEKING 
IN STRANGE EAR PIERCING TONES --
 

 TRULY AN EVIL MACHINE ...
COULD IT BE PART OF THE EVIL TRIUMVIRATE AND WAS BIRTHED IN IRAQ INSTEAD OF TAIWAN ???

 IT'S PCI BUS WAS INFECTED WITH 
AN IDE AGP VESA LOCAL FIREWIRE, 
IT'S PARALLEL STUCK PERPENDICULAR
TO ITS SERIAL, IT'S IRQ'S AND DMA'S
SQUABBLING FOR THE SAME TERRITORY
AND IT WAS REPEATEDLY TRYING 
TO INSERT ITSELF INTO IT'S OWN USB!! (how disgusting)
NOT TO MENTION THAT IT WAS 
JUST PLAIN MESHUGGAH!!

    NO CHOICE THE PATIENT WAS TERMINAL    
  DESTINED TO BE TRANSPORTED TO IT'S PLACE OF BIRTH  
   FOR BURIAL IN A MASS GRAVE!   

poor sleepy duck needs some zzzz's so I

PLANNED ON PREPARING XP FOR BURIAL IN THE MORNING, CAREFULLY PLACING HIM IN HIS CARDBOARD COFFIN ! CERTAINLY WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE THINKING THE DUCK CAUSED THE DEMISE OF THIS PILE OF @#?~** POOP.

SO

I get up in the morning - having spent a restless night preparing myself for xp's funeral - but kind of hoping that the undertakers at Fry's electronics would just throw him in one of the deep fryers in their snack bar and let me watch as it WITHERED and CRACKLED and MELTED into an ugly blob that  matched it's behavior !

WHAT REALITY IS THIS I WONDER AS
I VIEW MY DESKTOP ???

 I'LL BE DAMNED FOR IN FRONT OF ME ARE JUST A FEW INCONSEQUENCIAL REMNANTS OF THE

  CORPSE
