Overheard in the Lab: Upgrading

Kevin: Your laptop makes funny sounds at night. *whhrrrrgggg… whhrrrggg* It sounds like it’s dying.

Gary: Yeah, that’s the wireless card making sounds through the speakers.

(Talk continues until the topic of getting a new computer comes up.)

Gary: I could get a new computer, but I would have to copy all my crap to the new hard drive. It takes about three days to reinstall everything and set up everything just the way I like it.

Kevin: On a Mac you can just use Firewire HD copy to transfer all of your programs and settings to your new Mac…

Andy: …and copy all of your viruses too!

Kevin + Dan: What viruses?

Kevin + Dan: *high five*

Dan: That was just too easy.

All: *laughter*
