Because people that use Macs are cooler, more creative, more intelligent and more attractive to the opposite sex. FACT!

Here's my erm, attempt:

Camera seems to be pincushioned for some reason :confused:

I somehow managed to dip the end of my mouse cable into my coffee whilst doing this stunt :eek:

Any ideas how long I should leave it to dry for?

My Attempt:

The sizing on the ipod is abit out,a long with the pencil case, doh!

tedaC · 9 May 2006 at 11:49

rob will probably take about an hour in a warm place to dry out - but coffee will leave a residue, and probably still break it when you plug it back in.

You may want to use some isopropanol ( cleaning fluid ) - or alcohol to clean the residue off.

nice pic btw

we promise you the next first person shooter will be different. we are definitely not going to rip you off £35 (or sue you for thousands for downloading it) for a game that you've played 100 times before, as 37 different characters, against 6000 different enemies....honest, we're not.

funny how some people's reasons for owning a PC is gaming. my reason for not owning a PC is the gaming. i'd rather play cards. and before you get clever; not Microsoft Hearts.
